I didn't expect as much as I felt from this book. My little heartstrings were tugging all over the place, and I had to stop reading on my break at work because I started to tear up at my desk. Man grieving the loss of his brother, woman working through the guilt of her role in the family's settlement, insert fake fiancée storyline, but surprisingly a lot of FEELINGS. I quite enjoyed this story!

Also, I haven't read the first book in this series, but I didn't feel like I was missing anything for this story.
