My Review
 
This story continues the love affair of the characters. I didn’t like this story as much as the first, but I did enjoy it. Owen is just a really great guy what was there not to love.
What I liked most about this story that although it centered around Owen, the rest of the cast was still in the story and not as back drop. They are there like you would imagine life happens. The other characters aren’t pulled out like they didn’t exist.

Again, I was a bit bothered about the timing of the romance. I know it's possible, but it bothered me again. A bit too convenient.
Still, I wasn’t turned off by this book. I had to take it to its end.
If you are looking for books with HEAs (happily ever afters) this is your author and your series.
Audio Review
MacLeod Andrews did an wonderful job with the narration. He used very different voices for each character which he carried through the series.
My book boyfriend, Owen.
