There was excitement in every chapter the desire to finish was overwhelming. Now the need to complete the series is beckoning me to get the next, immediately. This story took the time to make connections to the previous books that introduced you to some of the other characters. But one thing it did not distract you from the story that was forming or the one that is coming next.
I can't get enough...you are AWESOME! I would recommend this series to anyone that believes in true love. This series is so romantic thast you can read it over and over and never tire of it.
