Before I started Waiting On My Reason I received an email from Devon Ashley about the character of Shane, who has been the subject of much criticism, which said,“I hope you don’t mind a guy that actually has character flaws to overcome . . .”And boy does he ever?! Yet instead of criticising Shane for the way he ploughs through town, completely mishandling the situation, I only found his traits human and very male. I know many men who will choose to believe their best friends over their partners, and it was a contentious issue for my now husband and I before we were engaged. Groups of male friends have the “’bros before ‘hos” code and this is hard for them to break; in the story the reader witnesses Shane’s pain when he finally realises Brad’s deceit.  Shane finally learns to be in a mutually beneficial relationship, in which he must prove that Mel and Jake are his priority.Mel is a passionate woman, who is prepared to sacrifice herself for her child; a feeling all mothers can identify with, and because of her continuous unselfish attitude the reader sees her HEA as well-deserved.For me this novel was just another reason (no pun intended!) to fall in love with Devon Ashley’s writing; she proves that she will not be placed into a neat little box and will break the rules! I love it!I recievd this book as a review copy, but this has had no influence on my opinion.
