Let me first say that I enjoy Brenda Jackson's character development. Each Westmoreland male is interesting and unique. The heroines are all professional, intelligent, "virgins". Surprisingly each heroine is a virgin over the age of 25 with the exception of Madison who had one prior sexual experience. In my opinion it is not realistic of your average woman over 25 years of age to be a virgin (while ideal and sweet not realistic). But I still say that Brenda Jackson's characters are wonderful. In the family of the Westmoreland's it is believed that they will all marry a person with whom they fall in love with at first sight. Love at first sight was believable with brothers Dare and Storm. Their love interests were women they had known for years. I did not buy the "love at first sight" theme between Delaney Westmoreland and Prince Jamal nor Stone and Madison. Again, romantic idea but unbelievable. The other three I bought it and loved it.I most enjoyed A Little Dare, it was my favorite of the first 5 books. Thorn Westmoreland is my favorite character from the series. I enjoyed his story as well. Stone Cold Surrender and Riding the Storm are the reasons I'm giving this review 3.5 stars. I thought the heroines were a bit extreme.  Madison tracking her 50 year old mom in the mountains of Montana and Jayla yet in her 20's choosing to be artificially inseminated because she's lonely. I thought that was extremely selfish. However each story has a satisfying end. Stone Cold Surrender has the redeeming aspect of Corey and Abby finding each other after so many years. I really enjoyed their part of the book. Their story touched my heart. I'm looking forward to reading the stories of the additional Westmoreland family members who were introduced.
