Rowan explains that the major fuss and upheaval it will cause could damage her scholarship, just two months away from her 18th birthday, and her permanent escape from her father. Logan agrees to keep quiet on one condition. At the weekends she must stay with him.After reading the authors other book which I loved.The Devil's Pawn. This story is totally different in its concept. Both are romances, but this is a more traditional love story. Like the first this is well written, though I have to agree with Laura that at times it was difficult to determine whether I was reading Logan or Rowan's inner thoughts. But having said that this is a solid four star read for me. The sex is really really hot. Logan is seven years older than Rowan and he feels guilty that she is too young for him, it s this age difference that underpins this story. A couple of issues were left unresolved, but I liked the fact that the author gave us an epilogue which rounded everything up very nicely.
