Everything I was hoping for and more! DGS does such a great job of weaving in all sorts of twists and turns into this amazing story. I laughed, I teared up, I was on the edge of my seat. I love that NK is trusting more people with her past and how much support she’s getting from those who love her. And ow ow! Who knew Jed would be such a romantic?! The ending left me dying to know what’s going to happen next. Definitely a must read for all NK and Rose fans!
the second book in Neely Kate’s series which all ties in with the Rose Gardner mysteries did not disappoint. we finally got to see the relationships grow with Joe, Jed and even Kate. there a few plot twists and groaning points at some of the characters and it was nice to see Rose move over and not really get involved in this one and 1) make us wait for the next Rose installment 2) let us see Neely Kate with her own set of friends 🙂
Wow! This is now officially my favorite Swank book so far. So many twists and turns – I couldn’t put it down. I absolutely loved this book!
