Short review: Read it!

Cherise Sinclair is a must buy, must read author. This stand-alone is easy to follow and difficult to put down. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

Compelling, beautiful storyline of healing hearts, minds and a town. Descriptive writing that draws the reader into each scene. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. The responses of the characters to various problems shows how it can and should be done to build a better life for all concerned. Believable characters with distinct personalities and their own emotional baggage. Thought-provoking, memorable and occasionally humorous dialogue.

“I think it’s because IQ and testosterone are incompatible, so when one increases, the other goes down.”

I will re-read this story and always look forward to, pre-order when possible, new works by this author.

This is Heather’s story who we met over the past several books but got to know more in the previous book. This one is about “those dang Canadians” apparently. The way things go down with Pete were interesting, I did find it odd that Herne kept him alive. It doesn’t seem to be his normal MO with The Laws and such. But him and Gretchen were sort of after thoughts and the tension from outside the relationship was really nil. Most of the conflict arose from their own preconceived notions. I did like mates. I like how we see them over time getting to know Heather but I didn’t like how some things were glossed over, or how we would mention some people and then kind of they’d disappear. Overall I enjoyed the book and can’t wait to see what happens with Moya.
