A heartwarming beautiful story of love conquering a past that haunts us. Both Perez and Donna’s childhoods were lonely and had them doubting a lot about themselves. Read along and see how the family they’ve chosen and their love for each other give them the life they deserve.
Loved Dallas and Donna. Donna pushed Dallas away a few months ago, and has regretted it ever since. She want’s what Cassidy has found with Raphael, Kimberly with Wheeler, and now Harper with Breken, she just doesn’t know how to get there. She is so afraid of becoming like her cold “trophy wife” mother, she can’t see she is nothing like her.
Dallas knows why Donna pushed him away and had been patiently waiting for her. When she seems to be a little to cozy with Miguel, he is done waiting. He gets some sage advise from both Breken’s grandfather and wise man Ford and has a heart to heart with Donna.
Dallas has his work cut out for him. Donna’s insecurities run deep. . He loves her and is willing to do whatever it takes. Donna loves Dallas and she is following Cassidy’s advise, but her inner drama queen, sometimes drowns out everything else out.
Dallas has issues too. He had a privileged but lonely childhood. His father cold and distant. He lost his mother at a young age. She was strong and brilliant and left him a legacy to escape his father. He has been connecting with his Uncle Beau, his mother’s brother, who works for MC Baxter and his Aunt and cousins, especially his cousin Dallas. Learning what having family truly means. His cousin Hope who becomes fast friends with Donna and becomes another positive voice in her life. Which she really need when her mother make her appearance.
His personal growth spreads into his professional life. He is slowly becoming comfortable with his roll with EROP. While they have always treated him as family he is now really seeing them as family too.
Great addition to the series. Fast paced and a little steamy. Loved Dallas’s connection to Beau. A few MC/Baxters/Princes make some memorable appearances. Love to see them. They show in just the right amount. Like seeing the relationship with them and the EROP becoming stronger, but separate. Hope to continue to see strong cooperation between the two.
While this book can be read as a stand alone, reading the first 3 books really enhances the story. Reading the Baxter’s, MC, Princes, DC and Protectors series enhances it further. Can’t wait for the next book. I love Ford, but not sure I am ready for him to find his happily ever after. He is going to need someone strong enough so give him the connection he is desperately looking for and soft enough to let him take care of her. I’m starting to feel a little sorry for Miguel. Can’t wait for the next book.
I have to admit when I realized that Donna was the heroine of this story I wondered how L Ann Marie would make her a character who would endear herself to us, but she did it. I have always had a soft spot for Perez so I had high hopes for his book and L Ann not only met those expectation but exceeded them. I love this series and recommend it highly. I can’t wait to see which of the EROP guys is next!
