I've always advised my teenage nieces and nephews to not lose themselves to their so-called high school sweethearts as they will likely be long forgotten 20 years from now. I only vaguely recall some details about mine. It is very rare that these relationships grow into lasting, life long partnerships and even less likely can be rekindled after so long apart.The story of Manning & Taylor is that rare exception. Maureen Smith told the story so well, she made it very believable that a couple who were torn apart during their teens could be reunited after 20 years and find that their love is just as strong as it ever was.I waited a very long time for this book to be released. I had become enthralled in the whole Wolf Pack series. I knew Manning's story was going to be good, but I had no idea it would be THIS good! I have not one complaint. This story had it all. Romance, mystery, intrigue, hot love scenes. It was everything!Manning was so easy to fall in love with and I loved his strong, alpha male character. I also love that he had just as strong of a soft side.I was pleased to find that Taylor was an accomplished violinist. This is a very different career field for black, female characters and I thought it worked perfectly for this story.I sincerely hope not to have to wait as long for the next installment of the Wolf Pack Series but I know just as this was, it will be so worth the wait!
