**A promo copy given in exchange for an honest reviewThis book was so good! The writing is excellent and the story kept me interested the whole way. The characters are what really made this book special for me though. Especially the main character Shannon who was introduced to violence at a young age but has grown into a woman who is so strong, smart, spirited and quite a little badass when she needs to be. I just adored her! She is surrounded by a wonderful cast of sexy, honorable men who have taken her under their wing and each play a significant role in her life. They all live together platonically as one big happy family. They support and love each other as siblings would, driving home the point that it is love that makes a family. The dialog and flirtatious banter between these characters is so fun and their escapades in and outside the home is humorous and entertaining. If you like steamy scenes this book has that too as Shannon meets and falls for Dylan, yum!As the story moves along, the mystery that surrounds Shannon thickens and the suspense factor heats up. There are lots of little mysteries going on here that really kept me on my toes trying to figure out what was up. There is a cliffhanger ending that took my breath away and I loved it. I can't wait to see how this story plays out and I'll be the first in line for the sequel! What a great debut novel by Norma Jeanne Karlsson! *4.5 stars*
