Sorry.....this one just didn't do it for me.

First off, this book took me forever to get through. It failed to hold my attention and it was very EASY to put down and HARD to pick back up. For me, great books are those that grab me from the first page and hold me captive until I can finish reading it. This book was certainly not one of those.

I appreciate the fact that this author takes a risk with the hero. I have to admit to getting tired of the old cliche'd hero, and Ian was certainly not one ...more

Sadly, on a reread this book doesn’t hit the same. I don’t know why🤷‍♀️
I’m not going to change the rating, though. I think it’s still a good book if you can get past the convoluted murder plot.

On the second try I managed to finish this book! It helped that I had no internet and had to read what I had. There’s this place in the book where I again almost stalled. It’s when the detective comes in and all the murder drama starts. Meh. I thought things were interesting enough what with the “ma ...more

I really enjoyed this book. It was intense, emotional and made me cry a few times. The way Ian is, the things he says, like "I wouldn't expect love from you. I can't love you back" is so heartbreaking. I found myself crying often. There were some things I didn't enjoy, the 'bawdy talk' was a little too bawdy for my taste in a book. It broke my heart that he couldn't look anyone in the eyes, the way he was inadvertently treated by his family, his horrible father and what he'd faced in the asylum ...more

I have heard about this book FOREVER and finally was able to get my hands on it and boy the hype was so true. I loved Ian and Beth so got him and I even cried in places because of how well Ian was portrayed. The family bond between the volatile Mackenzie's was full of love even though they were each so different. Although the romance was not as spicy as I like them it was still sizzling in some spots and the tenderness of their love was very breathtaking. I am so looking forward to the rest of t ...more
