Very sweet emotional ride. This is the second book I read by Williamson and she definitely knows how to write a book that tugs on your heart strings. I felt the connection and reasons of why and how Jessalyn and McCady fell in love. At times I found myself in awe of their love for one another and then upset at how McCady was always turning her away from him. Yes, he believed it was for her own good, but at the same time he couldn't keep away from her. Only when he was truly going to lose her did make a move to ensure she would be his. *sigh* I just wish he hadn't hurt her so many times over and wish she had more pride. I felt she sacrificed so much for him and everything he did was for himself. I wanted him to redeem himself, to make the readers understand that he did deserve Jessalyn. However, the book ended abruptly therefore the author leaves it to the reader to assume their happily ever after. *shrugs*

I also enjoyed other characters in the book. Becka, I found myself laughing at her misusing words. Emily, I couldn't help but like her and feel sorry for her. And then Clarence... Yes, I even like Clarence. In the beginning he was created to be a likeable character and then he turns into a villian which was kind of hard to believe.

All in all, this is not a book to be missed if you enjoy emotional romance books.
