I really did like this book....LOVED all six of Alton men.....after reading the first maybe five chapters I couldn't stand Corona Mae/Chole or whatever she wanted to be called......but hopefully Ms. Byrd will make up for it with a book on Tess and Hennessey....and please let it be soon.....

A DELIGHTFUL Christmas treat...a page-turner...with loads of unexpected twists and turns...and I DEFINITELY hated for it to end...I can hardly wait to read more about those OUTRAGEOUS Alton brothers and the Banks' family...well done Ms. Byrd!

I really enjoyed this story. The chemistry between Corona & Lyfe was there since they were teenagers, and never went away. I have to say Ms. Byrd has a knack for writing love scenes, because Corona & Lyfe's first one was when they were teenagers, and I have to say it was hot!!! All of their subsequent love scenes were equally on fire. I'd love to read a story between Tessa & Hennesey (Corona's sister & Lyfe's brother) those two pranksters seem like they would set the pages of the book ablaze. The only thing I couldn't understand about the story was Corona's secret from Lyfe and why she kept it so long. It made sense to keep the secret in the beginning, but after so many years I just couldn't come with a reasonable reason why she would continue to do so. I really could have done without Rowan also, he was almost irrelevant to the whole story. The was a cute sweet holiday read that I'd definitely recommend.
This was probably the 2nd best book I have read by Adrianne Byrd. My ratings may be a little exaggerating, because I'm a huge fan of her books...I will like to start off with my negative...That would be that this book was too short...Ok not really...I just didn't want this story to end. I was mad when it did. Ok the positive is the story line was really different than most...I love the way she started off with the reading of Corona's diary detailing their childhood past....It was very creative how she incorporated it into a love story. Lyfe was a hottie...At times I wanted to go and knock some since into Corona/Chloe...whatever her name was....(BTW she did have two names in this book) lol...This story is about how the two met as kids and how their life expired out of control and of course they went their own separate ways by unforeseen circumstances...I don't want to give the story away. It may sound like something you've read before....but once you start to read this story, you will see all the twist and turns Adrianne did in this story. It was very entertaining. The ending was so sweet...I think thats what really made me give this book 5 stars. There were characters in this book, that just made you want to know more about them. Adrianne has always had these memorable characters. For (ex.) Tess and Hennessy...I know there's going to be a book about them...I would love to read about those two...too funny. Anyway, this is a must read. You will not be disappointed especially if you're an Adrianne Byrd fan...
