DW you outdid yourself with this one. I have been on this journey since Emily's story, then Jake's, and of course Max and Jane's and I have anxiously awaited this culmination of Unlikely Attraction. What I loved about this story, is even though as an avid "Reider", I knew many of the events and the outcome, it was still "fresh" with this one, and my emotions were all over the place in anticipation of the outcome. During the Mourning phase, my heart literally ached for Laney, and I found myself getting impatient for Donovan to come to his senses. But in the New Day phase, I was finding myself getting a little frustrated with Laney in the way she handled the whole Michael situation. However, all this was so worth it in the Knight finale, because "Dapper Don" was wonderful, and the scenes with their intimacy was so endearing and witty-I just loved it. This author is so clever with her play on words, her detail and accuracy and beautiful descriptive nature of places and events, you feel like you are right there. It was also wonderful to see scenes we had experienced in previous editions, play out from the different point of view; it was like a  refreshing deja vu. Now, this is a long book, but I was so engaged, that it flew by, and in all honesty, there were so many things that need to be addressed that it needed that time and attention. DW is the master of setting the scene and providing a visual that puts you right there with the characters. Her books are an experience to be enjoyed.This story is best appreciated and enjoyed to it's fullest, if read after at least Max and Jane's two volumes because you will get the back story of the characters and will truly be vested in all the Reid's/Taylor's, but truly you need to enjoy the entire series so that it will capture you just like it has me. I loved the sneak peek into the fun that is yet to come from the voice of Donovan himself, and I can't wait to get his version of the events; and Nick what can I say, I did not see that little rascal behind all the gentle charm we've seen in previous editions. This series is just the gift that keeps on giving, and I seriously don't want to see it end. There is still so much that we need to experience and a few more Reid's that have not found true love yet, so DW, keep them coming.
