I received a complimentary copy for review purposes, but I would gladly have paid for this book! My review will also appear at Goodreads.This story was fantastic from the first page to the last! I knew, when Captive ended that I wanted a story for Luke. I also knew it would be great for him to step into a relationship with a woman who had a child. Boy, am I glad I was right on both counts! I had several moments when I literally laughed out loud, tears were shed, and times when my blood pumped in my veins, either from the insanely hot chemistry between Luke and Dell or from instances of excitement.If you love Brenda's work, you will be thrilled with this book. It's my personal favorite thus far, and that's saying a lot, because I can't stop praising Bound or Captive and I adored The Complete Now Series. I can never say this enough, if I love the characters in a book, I will love the book. Everything else can be crap and I'll still like it. This book has so much more to offer - great plot, details that will make you feel as if you're there, insanely hot sex scenes - but the characters are phenomenal.Luke is more polished where Ryke and Ben (my previous faves) were not. He can be suave like Cole and down and dirty like Ryke or Ben. And he can do it all in the span of a paragraph or so without it seeming out of character. He's strong and soft, sweet and naughty, smart and funny and just downright sexy. And Dell, she's rough around the edges, where Kate, Emma and Layla were not, but she's a fantastic mom. I loved that about her. Not that I didn't like Emma, Layla or Kate, but Dell is definitely my favorite.Luke and Dell is a winning combination - the two of them, their chemistry and the plot of their story. Hands down, the best I've read from Brenda yet!Now, I'm just waiting on a story for Niko...
