Great Beginning
Xolani and Garrett have a great beginning to the sisters’ series. Garrett proved that he would go to great lengths to prove to any and everyone that Xolani was his from the beginning. Their story was a true love story full of mystery and intrigue. You never had to guess if Garrett loved Xolani even when she was fighting him. He made sure that no other man had her and he went through every obstacle to remove any other man from her life. I cannot wait to read her sisters’ books as well. This author did a great job with this.
