In the spirit of full disclosure I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.Once again the characters jump to life from the first scene, so full of emotions and quirks that make them a joy to follow along with. Claire and Chad's interactions are amusing and exciting.  love how he teases her and makes her worries melt away even for a few brief moments.The many unexpected twists and turns, and there were several big ones in this installment, will keep readers glued to their seats. Once I buckled down to read it, I couldn't stop. Even when everyday life as a mama and wife dragged me away, I did what I had to and then immediately returned to reading.The descriptions are just the right touch to add some flavor to already clear pictures in my mind, and add little pieces of backstory into the mixture as well. It's easy to see why this series is so popular. The author is a refreshing breath of air with a style that leaves readers anticipating the next book.My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is the overused exclamation points detracted the importance of using them in certain situations that would have kicked the prose into a higher gear in certain spots, further enhancing the story.Did I mention she's the queen of crafting mysteries? M.L. Stephens loves to keep her readers guessing and has a penchant for throwing unexpected curve balls like she did at the end of this one. I can't wait to start book three!Originally reviewed for Satin Sheets Romance. 4.5 Pillows. 2 Candles.
