Why did the author write Win being in labor instead of Amelia when she was the one due and why hasn't it been mentioned in Tempt Me In Twilight? I just read where she surprises Merripen by admitting she's pregnant to stop him from kicking Harry's ass and they all act like it's their first child together. Uh, hello?! What happened to their so called child they had and in which they named him Jason Cole?

how old is Kev Merripen?

Shuri was "about sixteen" when she married the rom baro, so Kev was either 14 or 18. It is said that he was left for dead by his tribe a short time after that so this is his age when he was found by the Hathaways. I think 18 is more likely, because of Cam's age.

As for Cam's age: in 1848 he is "approaching 30", which would mean he was born around 1818-20.

As Kev is the older brother he would have to be born before Cam, obviously, so 1818 is most likely.

Now, Win was 26 in 1851 (chapter 11). This makes her birth date likely to be around 1825. She met Kev in 1836 (12 years before the first chapter set in 1848), which would make her 11-12 back when Kev was found.

So my "math" yields the following conclusions:
Kev - born 1818
Cam - born 1819/20
Win - born 1925

I can't be certain, of course, but I get the impression that Kev's precise age was never mentioned because of the uncomfortable fact that he might have been an adult while Win was a young girl when they first met. The implications are that they felt attraction from the beginning. It is also possible that the author did not originally mean for Kev to be older than Cam, but because of the "Irish heritage" subplot, he had to be. Hence the age confusion and some hand waving. :) (less)

**PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK** In the book, we find out three things: 1. Kev and Cam are brothers 2. Kev is the older brother 3. Kev's mother died giving birth to Kev. If Kev's mom died giving birth to Kev... then she could not have birthed Cam after (the younger brother). Is there something I am missing? Are they only half-brothers? I am utterly confused.

Casey Ulric Kev just thought that his whole life. Then finds out it she actually died giving birth to Cam

As anyone listened to the Audiobook of this novel? I know the audiobook is newer and with some of the newer ones, they've changed or left out parts of the story. Just wondering if the audiobook follows the book version precisely.

Reader Rpandher I listened to Rosalyn Landor narrating the book. She does not even try to distinguish between adult male and female voices, which is a huge let down. …moreI listened to Rosalyn Landor narrating the book.

Did not feel anything was missed.(less)
