Review: I love the way KA writes BAGGAGE!

I am really enjoying these books by Kristen Ashley.She writes about mature characters; usually in their 30s and 40s.  They have history.  They have drama.  They have BAGGAGE and how KA unfurls that baggage is pure drama with a dose of angst thrown in for good measure.  Nothing like making the reader work for that happily ever after.In this book we get Tanner Layne and Raquel Merrick (Layne and Rocky) who are reunited after 18 years apart.  It's a love that proves to have survived the test of time - time that includes an ex-wife and two kids.  For most of the book I couldn't figure out why Rocky left the man she loved and when the truth comes out - it both makes sense and is frustrating at the same time.  So much time lost and coming back together is NOT easy.  Tanner's two boys are terrific characters as well.  Don't even get me started on the dog!  Of course, we get plenty of prior 'Burg story characters and are brought up to date on their state of matrimony.  Oh......let's not forget Ryker.......he is something else and darned if the love of a good woman (and her daughter) doesn't bring down his bad-a$$ self.  Who doesn't love a sensitive tough guy?We have bad guys......lots of 'um.  It's quite a puzzle that KA weaves for us readers and when it all finally fits together (like at the end of the book), what a reward we readers get.Another fine 'Burg story.  I adored it.  Thank you dear authoress.
