- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another good book of excitement, love, laughs, and intertainment. This book is the 3rd of this series so be sure to read the first three. This story was narrated by a very good narrator. He created the vision of the story into my mind. These books would make a fantastic TV mini series.

4 Stars
Devin Mackade has been in love with Cassie Dolin ever since he can remember, but the timing has never been right for them. Now that her abusive husband is behind bars and Cassie is discovering her inner strength, the opportunity for the romance that alluded them is finally presented. Can Devin and Cassie overcome their reticence to be together?
Devin is the most patient and caring of the MacKade brothers, and Cassie is a sweetheart. While it is impossible not to root for their well-deserved happiness, their romance falls short precisely due to the nature of their characters. Devin is far too self-possessed and accommodating in his interactions with Cassie, and she is too timid and apprehensive around him. Consequently, it is difficult to suspend disbelief and accept Devin's eventual demands for more and Cassie's sudden willingness to fight for what she wants.
The minor suspense plot does ratchet up the tension and the inclusion of more details concerning the ghosts is intriguing.
In sum, a heartwarming romance, but my preference is for heroines with more backbone and heroes with more daring. Shane's book is next and it will be interesting to meet the heroine who can put an end to his womanizing ways. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I just loved this series and wish there were a 5th brother. I wrote my review of the series on book #4, The Fall of Shane MacKade.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enjoyable story that deals with a serious issue found all to often. Plot, action, pace all good and I particularly like when the male pursues the female. Sheriff Devin has been attracted to Cassie for years and finally follows his heart after her divorce.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Rarely do I find a book by Nora Roberts that does not make me laugh or cry. Her artistry is in drawing the reader into the mind of the characters, allowing us to feel what the characters feel. This book is no exception.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Devin MacKade has been in love with Cassie Dolin for most of his life. He was forced to stand by silently when she got married, was abused by, and finally divorced her husband. He's not standing by silently any longer.A heartbreaking story with a happily-ever-after ending.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Odd. I don't like victim heroines, and I don't like the way Nora does paranormals, and this story is very similar to Rising Tides (Ethan Quinn's story), yet I liked this one much better than the first two. Go figure. The fact that Cassie was a victim did make me feel a little distant from the story, and her reaction to her son's fear was way out of proportion.Still, I think Nora did an amazing job, particularly for a category romance, in portraying these characters. They were very believable. And Devin may have been slow to let Cassie know how he felt, but at least he wasn't the silent type.
