As many as 50-100 pages could have been removed because of their repetition
I am a big fan of Cheris Hodges books, however, I didn't find this book as interesting. Darius and Celina had a good storyline, however, the storyline with Tiffany seemed unrealistic. I thought that it was superficial. Maybe if readers were given a little more background information about Tiffany, I would have been able to connect more with her character in the book.
Celina Hart and Darius McRae have both been burned by past relationships. I loved the connection and chemistry between this couple and the obstacles they faced. Another great read from Cheris Hodges. I absolutely love her books.
