4-4.5 starsThis was a really good story. I liked both Feb and Colt, they make a great pair. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.February (aka Feb) grew up with Colt as he was her brother's best friend from the age of 6 years old. They (and most everyone else in town) knew they were destined to be together. Unfortunately, Feb sees something that leads her to believe Colt cheated on her and she breaks up with him. She wasn't the same without him though and ended up in a bad marriage to a bad man that abuses her. After she's divorced from him she leaves town for 15 years, only coming back to town to help her brother run the family bar. I liked Feb. She did make mistakes when she was younger but, when the entire story come out, we find that the blame can't be laid all at her feet. As the story progressed and she came back to herself I liked her more and more.Colt is a good man. He's alpha but not overbearing (for the most part, I mean all alpha males are overbearing to some point). He's a police detective, which is what he always wanted to do growing up. He's been living half a life in the years since they split up, just like Feb. He tried moving on and getting married at one point but it didn't last. When he finds out a psycho is killing people in Feb's life he is determined to find out who and keep her safe. This helps things between them since they have to speak to each other. When he pushes her (with the help of her family) in to staying with him it's just a matter of time until the long suppressed emotions being to surface.I was pleasantly surprised that even before the past issues were completely cleared up, Feb and Colt were already beginning to work things out and forgive each other. The heroine resisting, seemingly just for the sake of resisting would have pissed me off in this story so I'm glad Feb didn't go there once things got started. I was slightly frustrated while reading, because it took a while to get the whole story of what split them up in the past but I have to admit, it kept me riveted to the story and the timing worked out in the end. Seeing Feb and Colt work things out and grow together as a couple was great, I enjoyed reading their story very much.This story had an engaging plot but the characters were the best part about the story. Colt and Feb are great and secondary characters (their family and friends) were interesting and filled out the story without being a distraction. I really think that Kristen did wonderfully with this cast and I'm looking forward to seeing more of their story in the next book of the series. This was well worth the read. I'd recommend it. Thumbs up! :D
