I absolutely loved this book! As I've come to expect from Jennifer Rodewald, this was another stellar and poignant read that went deep and pulled at my heartstrings. Tender, at times, yet hard-hitting when it needed to be, I ran the gamut of emotions. I felt the highs and the lows and was right in the thick of things with these realistic characters.

Lane had a lot of rough edges to him. It took me a little bit to fully connect with him, but, gosh, when I did, he became one of my favorite characters ever. Him and his brother Lance weren't on the best of terms. He felt slighted and hurt, so he lashed out with sarcastic remarks and sharp barbs. Not gonna lie, he was a bit of a jerk sometimes. It was painful to watch the struggle, but it was such a powerful journey to redemption and healing. I loved getting to know the real Lane, the man he tried to hide from everyone. He's a real good guy underneath it all.

Daisy was easy to like and easy to root for. She's an all-around good and hardworking young lady. She's feisty, doesn't back down from a challenge, and goes toe-to-toe with the best of them. She's the perfect match for Lane. She's got some trust issues, though, after being wronged recently, so her guard is high.

I seriously can't recommend this book highly enough. It's fantastic. And while it is book three in the series, it stands alone just fine.

I received a copy of this book from the author and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
