Good book...don't like the mother and brother. They are so selfish and full of themselves. Magnus couldn't say he love Selena because of his mother. I'm glad he open up to all of them and let Selena know what was holding him back for what she wanted he to say.

This one was a good read. My first book that I read from Gwynne. The jealous brother was a trip but of course in romance novels it all worked out in the end.
