This is the second book I have read by Sarah O'Rourke and I liked it better than the first in this series.The book picks up almost exactly where the first one left off, only focusing on a different McKinnon sister, Harmony. She is a woman who endured great suffering at the hands of her crazy ex-husband, Tanner, who has resurfaced. Enter Jacob Stone, DEA agent on vacation but working on his own side project. Jake and Harmony are drawn to each other right away but of course, Harmony is weary. Shes been burned before and she also has her daughter, Heaven, to consider. Heaven is an amazing addition to the McKinnon clan. I really enjoyed the relationship that developed between her and Jake; we got to see a softer but still protective side.Just when we think our couple is ready to ride off into the sunset, all hell breaks loose. The sparks fly for these two and everything is going well but Jake has secrets. Harmony finds some "evidence" of Jake's untruthfulness, and she shuts down. Eventually, with the help of the meddling sisters, they reunite after Tanner gets close to Harmony, Heaven and Honor. He actually does more damage to Honor in that attack than anyone else. Shortly thereafter, there is an attack on the Cafe where the sisters work and one is shot. From there, Harmony and Honor are taken and secrets are revealed. The whole ugly truth about everything comes to light. All the strings were tied up in a nice happily ever after bow.The other characters from the first book were also present. The cast of secondary characters in this series really make it so much more believable. There was wise old Aunt Orla, that woman reminds me so much of my grandmother I can't help but smile. I also loved learning more about Patience and Abel and Honor and Zeke. I know that both of their stories are going to be awesome.
