This book is going down as one of my favorites from the Indulgence line.  I'm a sucker for a good romance, but this book was so much more. It was about coming to grips with your past and recognizing that while it may have shaped you, your past doesn't have to define you. Jake and Claire had a lot of spark between them. Their dialogue was witty and highly entertaining. Most importantly, you could feel the emotional connections in the story. Not just theirs, but also the connections they had with family. I cried a few times, laughed a lot, and was thrilled when Jake and Claire had their happy ending.A few of my favorite lines from the book:"And as he tucked the blanket around her, another feeling took him by surprise-he wanted to protect her. He wanted to make her happy." pg 64"Because right now, Jake Manning was the man she always dreamed he was, deep down, beneath his playboy facade. This was the Jake she thought existed." pg 109While this was the first book I've read by Victoria James, it won't be the last. In fact, I'm going to go back and read the 1st book in this series as soon as possible. I loved the author's writing style!
