One word: Wow! This is her first novel? I am impressed. I was captivated from the first chapter. I did not want to put this book down. The characters were not only believable, but they were endearing. The chemistry between Braden and Beth is phenomenal and funny. The family dynamic is sweet as well. One of the greatest things about this book for me is the fact that the characters have dimension. The bad guy is horrible-I love that. And even he has reasons for his actions, skewed as they are.Beth is strong in an environment of strong, seemingly overpowering male characters. She holds her own without coming across harsh. The writer doesn't write her without fear but rather that she learns to handle and deal with her fears. This to me makes for a well rounded and believable female lead.Braden is great, not because he is perfect as many male leads are made out to be. I like him because he is flawed. He makes mistakes and he loses his temper. He works to get the girl instead of just assuming that because he wants her she will be his.Entertaining and enjoyable from beginning to end. I hope this is not the last work we see from this writer. :-)
