And convincing her of that fact is just the kind of challenge he thrills at…
My Thoughts:
Once again I just fell in love with they whole Cynster family, and by extension the Cavanaugh family. This book will keep you laughing and worrying throughout much of it. I liked how Ryder was a smart enough man that he knew what he needed to do in order to claim Mary as his own. That he needed to let her figure things out for himself and not really push the issue. Both Mary and Ryder are strong willed people who would rather people follow them instead of giving them orders. They are very much alike, and it is fun seeing them do the so romance dance as they truly fall in love. But you also have the mystery here, because someone is trying to hurt them. I do have to admit that they mystery in this book was really good, I had an inking of who the culprit was but often second guessed myself as time went on. But I do think that ir was the interactions between the families with Mary and Ryder that I enjoyed the most. From Mary’s close nit Cynster family who was always there to lend a hand, to Ryder and his not so warm step-mother and his younger half siblings. I love the fact that Ryder initially pursued Mary because he wanted for his family what she has with hers. If you have read any of the other Cynster books you will love this one, I think this one has to be among my favorites from this family.
