Kristen Ashley is one of my favorite authors. When I want a good book, I know that I can't go wrong with one hers. This is a very good book, but for some reason, I had trouble keeping up with the names. There seemed to be a lot of characters in this book and sometimes she would use their given names and sometimes their nick names. It kept throwing me off. I would have to stop and think - who the heck is this???I like Julia, but I loved Douglas. He changed for the better and I loved seeing his transformation. I felt like I knew him. I loved the way they were with the children, and I believe the children made this story much better, especially Ruby. I was also praying that Douglas would finally give Lizzy the attention that she needed and deserved. Of course, he did and it warmed my heart!!!I could relate to this book. I have lost someone that I loved so dearly and I would do anything that they asked me to do. So, I completely understood Julia and her feelings for the children and the grief that she carried and moving to another country without hesitation. I did feel like she was playing with Douglas's feeling though. I mean, I know she didn't think he loved her but obviously he had some feeling because he wanted to marry her. I just thought she should have said yes or no and went on with her business. Not make it a game. If the answer was no then move out. If it was yes, then stay and deal. The avoiding him and sleeping with him and then acting like nothing happened was annoying. But it's a book right, gotta have drama.I didn't realize this book was part of a series until I started writing this review. I will have to go back and read book 1 - whatever it is.I highly recommend this book. You really can't go wrong with Kristen Ashley.
