I have been dying to return to Mirabelle, Florida for some time now, mainly because I know every visit promises to be one amazing literary escape from reality, and that I am about to be treated to a story that is sure to satisfy every one on my literary cravings! Barely three sentences into the story, and everything in my world started to shift, and I felt myself being pulled into Harper and Liam’s world, they had me hanging onto every spoken word, and dying for more! The chemistry between these two burned brightly from start to finish, and every encounter they had was filled with so much passion and intensity that I frequently found myself breathless and in dire need of a fan!!
After reading Undone, the first installment in this series, I knew I had stumbled onto to something REALLY good, and since then, with each new addition I’ve read, Ms. Richards has managed to not only exceed my expectations, but also reaffirm my belief that this series is nothing short of AMAZING!! If you have not read this series yet, I must tell you first off that you are totally missing out on some exceptional reading, but that you are also missing out on the opportunity to meet some of the greatest men to ever grace the pages of a book!!
