We left Aspen at age 16 and now she is 21.  She has graduated, moved away, bought a car and an apartment.  However, her mother has just died and she realises that she is all alone.  Her world is crashing down around her ears for various reasons and then Roan casually saunters back into her life by sitting in the kitchen, drinking a beer.  Now this by itself is guaranteed to make pretty much any woman turn into a spitfire but considering the history between these two then you can expect fireworks.There is a lot of angst in this book, all of which builds up an amazing story.  Did I like all of it?  Not really, not on the surface of it.  But if you stop and think for a moment then you feel more empathy towards the characters.  For example, Aspen - she is completely emotional throughout the book and at times this just plain annoyed me.  She seemed to embody all the frailness and weakness that women are so often accused of.  But then you realise that everything I mentioned in the first paragraph has happened to her.  Not only that but she is now a Were, with a blood-bonded mate.  Put yourself in her shoes for just one moment and maybe you wouldn't be the strong, silent type either!  As for Roan, God love him, but he's such an arse at times!  You can see that he's completely tied up in knots over Aspen but really, whatever he's thinking of doing to or for Aspen, he really should do the opposite because he keeps on making matters worse.  It is actually Griff's conversation with Aspen right at the end of the book that helped me view him in a more favourable light - and I was one sticking up for him in the last book ;)  I'm really hoping that Roan will realise that Aspen has grown up a bit in the next book (I'm hoping she does anyway) as hearing Little Girl/Dirty Girl all the time.This is a wonderful series that will keep you turning the pages.  There are still loose ends to be tied up so I'm already looking forward to the next book.
