I love this book! I love the alpha male characters. I can’t say enough how much I like that both characters have physical things that they have to over come but neither seem to notice it about the other one. I also love when the sub characters have a roll in the books and you can see them grow along with the main couple. Can’t wait for the next book!
Better than Love’s Taming, imho, and I plan to read the next book in the series.
