I've read multiple books from Roslyn Hardy Holcomb, but this is my first that includes Lisa G Riley as an author. I love the stories I've read from Ms. Holcomb and this is another that is fantastic.
I love the happily ever after stories, but I also love those that have some type reality attached to them. This author never fails to ensure that the stories have some type of realistic feel with them, even down to the descriptions of the cities where the stories are based. In this story, the heroine, Casey, is a product of foster care and the story dealt with her background in a fair and honest manner. I like that she was not the cookie cutter heroine with the typical career (a cabinet maker, no less) and usual baggage. There were subtle differences with her that made it fun to read about her and engage you in her story. Her foster family is unique and diverse, but their differences make them interesting and really has me wondering about the others that grew up together. I love that for this story family is based on love and relationship, along with some DNA.
The hero, Carter, is unique as well. He has history with the heroine and all her siblings. In fact, he gives one of my favorite lines describing Casey's brothers. Again, the story is told with a steady pace, that unfolds the characters in a way that kept me engaged. I love that he knew what he wanted and kept moving forward so he could get his prize. His description was that of an "in-charge" male, but he also had the sensitivity built into his character that allowed him to be supportive also.
I cannot wait to read more of this series. Great job to both the authors!
