Natasha and Chet. As soon as I knew this third book was coming and about Natasha, I began anxiously awaiting it. I wondered how Ms. Thorn would handle it because frankly, in book two when we first met Natasha, she seriously had no redeeming qualities. I should never have doubted Ms. Thorn or her talent as a wordsmith. Not only did Natasha change her ways, Ms. Thorn was able to build her character and explain why she did the things she did. The chemistry between her and Chet was captivating. In short, it was delightful to read a sweet, clean romance with a really good story line. Ms. Thorn did not disappoint.
I've read all of these, and this one was a bit different from the others, but that is to be expected with the Heroine being someone with a very rough back-story. It really shows the author's skill when you can take the villain of a previous story, someone no reader liked, and tell her story, with her as the romantic heroine, a likable heroine who you want to see happy! This is a great series.
