I have anxiously awaited this book, and I'm thrilled to say it did not disappoint. Parts early in the novel were a bit slow, admittedly, but on a whole I found it to be a fantastic addition to the series, and I look forward to several years from now when the next installment is published. The end left a lot of unanswered threads, but that doesn't bother me. This is certainly not meant to be a stand alone novel, and I get that.

Another good book from Anderson. Meredith moves to the middle of no where with her four year old daughter to evade her abusive husband's family and avoid losing custody of her daughter. Heath, the county sheriff, lives next door to them and they end up becoming friends. After her husband's abuse, Meredith can't really trust him but eventually has no choice when her ex father-in-law's goons arrive in town. It was good reading, but I'm beginning to get a little tired of Anderson's 100% wholesomeness. Like Heath, once he realizes Sammy (the daughter) is acquiring his bad habit of swearing, agrees to let her wash his mouth out with soap every time he cusses. Little touches like that make me go, Give me a break. Also, to a certain extent I liked the presence of the little girl--I mean, she was crucial for the plot and all--but I found her somewhat intrusive. There were times when I felt Heath's affection for her sort of overshadowed his romance with Meredith. Maybe I just like the hero to be entirely absorbed with the heroine.
