"I loved this book so much more than I thought I would, I wasn't very drawn to Win & Kev when I read Mine Till Midnight. I was very pleased with everything to do with Kev, Cam & their connection, but didn't feel as connected with Win. Still a satisfying installment."
— Alice (4 out of 5 stars)

— Melanie, 2/19/2014" Merippen was driving me crazy sometimes, but i guess it's understandable. thank god Win could be quite persistent "
— Nilam, 2/12/2014" I loved Merripen. The scene when she was sick and he tried to catch the sickness so he could die with her if it came to that...kind of morbid but really showed his devotion. "
— Angela, 1/31/2014" This book was fantastic. Lisa Kleypas is definitely going to be an auto buy author for me now. "

— Lala, 10/31/2012" I love the concept how fear and the desire to protect can prevent Kev Merripen from accepting love in the purest sense. The strength of family and how a family can act cohesively for a common goal overshadows any sense of possible defeat. A relaxing read for an afternoon. "
