We need to know what's happening with both Grant and Harlow and of course, there's a big secret keeping them apart. He had to overcome his reputation as a playboy, and his history with Harlow’s half-sister, Nan, a woman with a reputation of her own. I love how strong Harlow has been and how she is such a determined feisty lady, and how he got Grant to see how truly unhappy his life had been before she came into it, even though at one point he thought he was in love with Nan.

And while this was fun 10+ books ago, I'm still waiting here for something a bit new from this author. We watch the young lovers suffer acutely from the separation, desperately missing each other, wishing they never parted ways, but Harlow’s priorities have shifted now and she remains determined to stay hidden from the man she still loves and the media that is still hounding her. He was such an ass in the previous book but he changed a lot here and became a better man for Harlow. Overall, this was a good fast read that had the heat and the heart break (the letters were tear inducing). I can understand why grant is finding it hard to accept what is happening, and that he is coming round.

This story truly caught me off guard, I never expected it to take the turn it eventually ventured on, and every single second of it was a thrill to read. Nothing in this world has ever shone as brightly as you do or made me want to be a better person like you do. Her style is too amateurish for my taste (especially the dialogue) and some of the characters were written in a way that came off too melodramatic, childish and inconceivable (i. We see so much character growth and it was the raw emotion from our protagonists that held the story together beautifully. Even though she has a heart condition AND HAVING A BABY CAN LITERALLY KILL HER, she insists on going through with her pregnancy, even though everyone around her wants her to have an abortion.

I didn’t like how everyone suspected she was up to something, and unable to do anything nice for anyone. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. There is a big shocker at 4% that leads to the couple quickly standing together and I guess this type of situation can make or break a couple. Granted, she was in pretty good health, which probably was a factor, and she was high-risk but at the lower end of high-risk, but I wanted more complications with it.

I wanted to bash Grant then, but we spend the first third of the book with two very heartbroken people, who are clearly so much in love on not wanting to hurt and the other desperate to find the one person that is loved so much. I was immediately concerned about where things were going, I hate when I have to wait forever for my couple to finally get together. As with the other Rosemary Beach books, the whole gang makes an appearance, and as a huge fan of the series, that only enhanced my experience of reading it. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I loved this story, a lot of people were disappointed in where Grant’s first book went, but I felt like this book completely redeemed him.
