What else it had was communication between the Turner brothers, making me wish I had more to read about. It had tension, and heart squeezing moments and everything I want in a romance.

There are many moments in this book where one or the other could’ve sacrificed who or what they were, but it didn’t really happen. She does what she feels she has to, but she’s so aware of what people are saying and adept at reading them, it makes her, not surprisingly, a perfect match for him.

He’s an exceptional compartmentalizer, but he’s also self-torturing, which is probably the most difficult thing about him. He’s uncompromising and has a very dark back story.

Exacting, unforgiving, cold.Īnd we know Mark knew he needed, and gave him, a dog. At least we have an idea of how tortured he is. I didn’t like Ash & Margaret’s story as much as I loved these last two, but to be fair, by the point we’re reading about Smite, we already know a great deal about him. It’s hard to complain when Courtney Milan builds a series around a group of men.
