Overall I enjoyed the book. I loved the ending and how they found each other. I loved how love conquered all and i loved how Jed was with Olivia's brother. He treated him with love and kindness. Altered his world so that he could become apart of theirs. So beautiful.What I loved:Jed: he was wonderful and amazing. Sometimes came on too strong but still so wonderful. He took control and showed Olivia what it meant to love with everything in you. His desire for a family was beautiful and his protectiveness was precious. He was kind to Olivia's brother and so supportive of Olivia and her family. Always trying to do what was right for them.The love story: A wonderful journey to show how love and patience can conquer all.Olivia: At times she was petulant but she was new to the world of love and being loved with everything. Her hotheadedness was awesome to see especially the taxi scene. That cracked me up but at times it showed how sheltered she appeared to be about some things. That isn't a bad thing. Her love for her brother was beautiful.What I liked:The story of Jed and his dad was intriguing. The storyline of the underground sex scene in NY was fascinating. Jed's dad was over the top and selfish. I am glad Jed was able to pull away. The sex scene though was fascinating. Who knew the power behind it and that it could be more than just sex.The writing style and the way the author was able to keep you intrigued through her descriptions and the way she wrote the story. Always keeping you on your toes.What was just okay:The Russian spy thing went a wee bit to much for me. The twist of Olivia and her dad was over the top as well. It just was more than I needed. For some it may be great and wonderful and it did help Jed to come to the decision of how much he loved Olivia but I think that would have happened anyway. i just felt it was a little over the top. Especially the oh I am dead wait no maybe not.The Brazilian Amazon ice queen who was groomed for Jed while she gave a chuckle again a wee bit much for me. And Jed's reaction was over the top as well. Understandable but over the top.Overall: I enjoyed the book and the series. The book showed us that love can change everything and conquer all. How redemption can be found in the heart and the love of one person to another.
