I’ve enjoyed every one of the books in this series but this one is definitely my favorite. I’ve been waiting for Laura and Russ’ story and I was not disappointed.
Laura has always been the one in charge of the family business. She keeps everyone on track and is indomitable. The fact that her heart has been repeatedly broken and she no longer has faith in men, relationships, or love has only made her more so.
Russ is a man who controls every emotion. From an early age he learned to keep things contained and that hasn’t changed. But when there is a brief opening in the door of Laura’s heart, he is eager to make a move in that direction.
This couple were so broken in their own ways and yet both so in need of love of the forever after variety. When they finally take a step toward each other things should be easier to close the distance between them. Instead they each fall into total emotional chaos. I loved having each of their points of view so I knew what they were struggling with and I was urging them on all the way.
This is a fast paced read with some relationship angst to partner with the amazing chemistry between Russ and Laura. The ups and downs of this story kept me reading until the end because I was in desperate need to find out how this couple resolved their differences. In the end, I was cheering and smiling like a loon. It was the perfect resolution and, capped with a sweet epilogue that brought us up to date on all the previous couples, made it a great read!
