This book was a complimentary gift in return for an honest review-SPOILERS AHEADI had been waiting for this book since I finished the last Kindred book (they become addicting). I was always curious how an almost-nun was going to be paired with Twin Kindred brothers and am amazed at how well Ms. Anderson was able to not only make her hesitation understandable but also show the conflict between the two brothers.My favorite parts of this story was essentially the backstory weaving in and out.  You could understand what Becca was having a problem with initially and her confusion as to why she was unable to just pick one Twin Kindred. (she essentially didn't have any education as to the different needs the kindred had regarding relationships). Then the actual flashbacks that they each had to go through were truly heartbreaking and you ended up not only falling in love with these characters but understanding the strength and weaknesses that each had taken from these past actions.  Believe me, at first I wanted to smack Becca... she kept giving the guys the "lets band together!" vibe and yet still planned to leave when everything was said and done.  I would NOT have fought having twin Kindred become my mates and I couldn't help but think that she was being too sensitive to an old breakup.  Believe me, the flashback really helped her come back into my good graces.Truth and Far were AMAZING characters.  Their past heartaches were stemmed from childhood traumas and it became TOTALLY understandable as to why one wanted the connection so bad and why the other fought it so hard.  I admit, I shed some tears during their flashbacks.I am completely stumped as to how Ms Anderson is able to have such complex and completely different male characters in her books.  Each Kindred has been completely different and refreshing but similar enough to have a brotherly bond with the entire kindred breed.  You start to look at all kindred as family even though they may not be blood related.The female characters also have this bond.  They seem to want to help each other get through these relationship problems yet they support each other and their decisions even if it means leaving. (For instance when Becca decided to leave after the quest was finished she still had the support from Kat) She may not have agreed with her but she still understood and supported her decision.Old characters and new.... I LOVE when old characters and touched upon in these stories.  Hearing who is having babies and cravings (and hot sex) lets me enjoy the old books all over again.  The new characters never cease to amaze me, no wonder she can't stop writing these books.  These new characters are strong and I can only imagine what trouble Garron is going to get into in the next book (hopefully coming fairly soon)overall this is a solid 5 star.  length and pricing plus storyline create an amazing buy and you will LOVE this book.  Make sure you have read the previous kindred books to be able to know who is who and whats going on or else you will be totally confused.
