[Tracy Krauss · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oh dear. I’ve been a fan of this series so far which is loosely based on the Seven Brides for Seven Brothers trope. This book definitely has merit and adds to the story, but I was disconcerted in Chapter one when some key discrepancies appeared. So far, all the books have replayed many of the same scenes from various points of view, but unfortunately this one changed some things – and I definitely noticed! (Example – in scene one there are different people in the car than in all the previous books!) This happened more than once and I even went back and skimmed through other books just to make sure. Listen, I’m obsessed with this series and really enjoying it, but this kind of thing almost made me quit the series. Because I am so invested, I put my irritation aside and kept reading. Once I did that, the book itself is quite good and I actually ended up liking the characters and felt like they were well developed, as was the overall story. (Even though I wasn’t a Fred fan at first because of his seemingly sexist behaviour.) There were more than a couple of inconsistencies between this book and the rest of the series. Also, there was some graphic violence and some profanity which seemed unnecessary. I don’t mention it because I ‘can’t handle those things’, but they felt gratuitous. In the end, I enjoyed the book as its own entity, but I still feel some dissatisfaction with the fact that it doesn’t quite ‘fit’ with the rest as well as it could have. It's almost like the author didn't read the others before writing this one.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The storyline was good but it was the characters interaction that I found most engaging.

I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

This is book 6 in this series. the characters are well thought out and the storyline is well written. this ends in a cliffhanger.

This was a wonderful book. It didn't seem rushed. This was sweet and steamy, full of romance and passion with great characters that were interesting enough to draw you in.
