Gray/Ivey have a great beginning in their younger years until her jerk of a brother interferes in their relationship to his own selfish interests. Thank goodness the gigantic misunderstanding didn't last more than a chapter or two before Gray/Ivey were reunited even though 7 years have transpired. I despise pages and pages of lengthy separations. Ivey's life did take a bit of an unusual path during this 7 year separation that I found a bit odd given her background. Not sure that I cared for that even though it seemed to work out ok with the storyline. I suppose that needed to happen to introduce the new characters that help the story come to its HEA. Did enjoy this bk and Gray was one of the sweetest alphas KA's written.  Ivey mentally and emotionally damaged from her family meets sexy cowboy Gray, her knight in shining armor, who rescues her and gives her a chance at a normal life. And it's certainly never been anything close to normal except when she's with the very hot Gray. What's Gray get out of the deal -"the prettiest thing he's ever seen", as he tells Ivey more than once throughout their story. (OK, altogether now.....Awwww). More of KA's great side characters - Ivey's faithful friends Lash & "Brutus" were outstanding. Lash was sort of a fairy godfather to Ivey or so it seemed. It's difficult to choose the best of KA's gay characters from a lot of her stories but Lash has to be at the top of the list along with Mikey (Fairytale Come Alive). Sorry Tod and Stevie (Rock Chicks), etc. I was very pleased that Ivey's brother got the ending he deserved. I appreciated that part of the story working out logically.  However the villain in this one was allowed to just fade away rather than come to any worthy conclusion for me. (Curses!!!). Overall a 4.5 stars and a wonderful story of love and family.
