Such an amazing read!! I loved every second of this book.  The characters were wonderful, the storyline unique and very original, and the writing was superb!What happens when you have your path set, you know what you want and you've worked so hard for it, but someone comes along and not only makes you question what you want but manages to make you question your whole life's path?Braydon and Samantha are "dating". It isn't much - Samantha doesn't feel much more than friendship for Braydon but she enjoys his company so she accompanies to his family home over their break from college.Samantha is introduced to the whole McCullough clan - and what a clan they are!  While they're around one another their true Irish roots come out and I love everything about this family!Colin McCullough is one of Braydon's older brothers.  He has his path set to become a priest.  Samantha immediately doesn't know how to act around him - it's hard to think of him as a man and not a priest so she tiptoes around him at first.They fight their attraction to one another.  Samantha is overwrought with guilt over her feelings for Colin.  Not so much because of Braydon, although that plays a part, but because of Colin's choice to become a priest.Colin, predictably, fights tooth and nail to fight off the strange and new urges he feels toward Samantha "Sammy".When they can't fight their feeling anymore, they start a journey together that neither one of them can resist but they both hang on to for dear life.Will Colin stay true to what he's always wanted or does he see a new path for himself, one with Sammy by his side?Will Sammy get over her guilt and the worry that she's somehow "corrupting" Colin and making him go against all he's ever wanted?And what about Braydon?  Will he see what's going on between his "girlfriend" and his brother?  Will he accept it or will it tear apart their family?This was an amazing read.  I'm almost done with book 2 in the series, Skin, and it's just as amazing, if not more so, than this one!5 stars!!*Note - each book can be read as a standalone but due to the reoccurring characters - I'd recommend reading them in order!*
