What can you say? Kristen Ashley's got the gift and lucky for us, she prolifically uses it! This was another great book in the 'Berg series. I couldn't wait to read about Mike, who was featured in the 2nd book in the story of Joe and Vi, which is still my favorite in the series. This book had great characters, strong family ties and drama, and some hilarious scenes as well. The sex scenes were a little tamer to me than the other series and I was glad to see that while there was profanity, the men no longer called the women the b or c wotprd, which I have objected to in some of her other series. I think the blended family dynamics have become more realistic and nuanced with each book, I'm glad that Mike and Audrey, his first wife, were able to work out their differences and have a more cordial relationship. I also liked that the budding relationship between Fin, Dusty's  nephew and Reesee, Mike's daughter was a sweet and significant subplot. Finally I loved the relationship between Dusty (cool name) and Mike. Dusty was a great heroine, strong, confident, knew when to yield and she knew when to stand up to Mike, and Mike, like many of KA's heroes, was sexy, alpha but not Neandethal. This book will make you laugh, cry, smile, grin, sigh, hold your breath and clutch your heart in suspense, great read!
