Wow--I knew it would be coming from earlier in the series, and honestly, it initially irked me, but my apologies to Ms. Ritchie, because I was so wrong!!! This book is Daisy and Ryke's story and it was amazing. Despite the longer length, I was so engrossed with not only their story, but this group's tale that I was able to fly through the pages.Ryke seriously deserves his own paragraph in my review because, well he is just WORTHY. He may not have thought so about himself, but I have loved him from the beginning of this series. He is in your face, foul-mouthed, and sexy like no other. Ritchie does such an amazing job with her writing that I feel like I can see him climbing up the face of a mountain, let alone doing other things. Let me just say, I have a new appreciation for cornfields. Despite all that, he was a troubled guy who just really wanted to do the right thing but found it difficult due to his past. I loved how he works through everything and I love how he eventually handles everything with Daisy and her family.Daisy has been somewhat of a wild child throughout this entire series but I had no true idea how troubled she was. This story helped illustrate how Daisy was in someways more mature than her sister Lily. Daisy, due to pressure from her mother, just had to grow up too fast and was in situations that no teenager should be facing. But all of that craziness in the life of Daisy helped me come to grips with the concept of Ryke and Daisy.Aside from their love story, the great part of this book, this series, is that all the characters we have come to love play very active roles in this story. It is not the casual mention of the characters but it is truly a continuation of their stories as well. As you may have guessed, the characters which were less than appealing, ie Ryke and Loren's dad and the Calloway girls' mom, show up as well. All the craziness and drama of their lives and the love they have found despite their situations make this such an entertaining book and one of my favorite series. I cannot wait to read more!!!!
