A wonderful story. I loved the dynamic between the characters. The story flowed very well. It kept me interested.The main character is the little sister of some scary overbearing brutes for brothers who seem to be intent on running her life. Like most big brothers their hearts are in the right place. It's the execution that is bad. She is living in a town where she grew up and had a foaled marriage from someone that has offended just about everyone he ever came in contact with. Watching her deal with trying to get out from under the husband's reputation and her brothers' protective thumbs, holding her head high makes for a feel-good story. The fact that the "one that got away" is back, and he feels she is the one he let slip through his fingers makes the heroine's struggle to just be on her own and make the right decisions for herself that much more interesting.This was the first book I had read of this author. It was sweet. It wasn't over the top sex. The language makes it inappropriate for teenage readers but it represents the area of the country where it takes place. So I didn't find it offensive. I didn't feel it was gratuitous, just depicting a certain culture. I would read another by this author.In the end, it left a smile on my face and a feeling that even after years of distance and hurt, love can find a way.
