Preston and Chandra hardly knew each other but their connection was powerful. I enjoyed this installment of the Eaton family and liked reading about they younger sister and her quest to love and trust again.
I loved the perceived growth of the Chandra character over a three year time frame. Two characters are well suited . I enjoy the author's writing. I am fast becoming a fan of her storytelling.
Oooh... Just loved P.J. Tucker. That man knows who he is and what he wants. I like the fact that he didn't have to do a lot of figuring out who he was and work thru a lot of issues. There was an acknowlegdement of a rough family situtation and what he had experienced but it did not cripple him as a man. I like characters like this. Ms. Alers really did a wonderul job constructiing him. Chandra was funny, sassy and a perfect match for P.J. This is a whirlwind romance about to mature people, not looking for a relationship, but finding one nonetheless.
