I loved this series! Being upfront, there are some pretty horrific grammatical issues and timeline problems, but the stories and characters are so good I was happy to overlook them. I am sad to see the series end.
This was my Second favorite out of the series. Who would have thought the self proclaimed bachelor was tied all in knots by the fiery red head. Another great love story awaits. I suggest reading the entire series it's worth it.
