What a sweet love story! I knew they were going to fall in love when Alex was told to call Kane if she needed help on the case. That was an easy given. What I wasn't prepared for was getting caught up in the story and falling in love with the characters myself. Oh my goodness, I was crying when Alex left Kane that fateful morning wand went back to town. I cried when she hung up on him when he called her. I also wanted to shake the both of them. But then I got to cry happy tears at the end, which was way better than I thought it would be.
This was a compelling love story from beginning to end. I loved it!
