4.5 stars -- Beautiful love story wrapped up in a book about characters growing up. I was worried I wasn't going to like Cami, but she really was just a product of her upbringing in some ways. It was a pleasure to watch her grow up and see her own worth and potential. She just needed infinitely better people in her life to let her be who she was deep inside. The thing I always love about Ms. Higginson's heroines is their strength of character. They may have flaws and be broken, but deep down they are so strong, and that inner strength is what helps pull them through...it's not just about finding someone else to make you a better person, it's having them there to help you see what was there all along.And Stockton....oh hells yes! He was just so sweet and adorable, but with his own set of roadblocks to work through. At times he almost came across as too good to be true, so I was strangely relieved when he epically lost his temper and his own inner struggle came to a head. Perfection is not always so great, so to see more of his flaws was relieving.Now Stockton and Cami together? That's where this book really shines. They had great chemistry....so much tension it was GAH! But they had such a beautiful and innocent courtship -- exactly what Cami needed. It was definitely a love that saved them both. And I LOVED the squee worthy epilogue HEA at the end....*happy sigh*I'm intrigued with the other brothers and the stories I know are coming up, but my true love was Will....she really shone, and I hope she gets her own book and HEA.
