this book surprised me simply because i very much dislike the south and everything about it, not to mention raylan’s name is quite ridiculous. for the sake of the love story, and how i saw a little of myself in riona, i was able to look past it. i had two guesses for who was stealing, and i knew one had to be right in the end (i was). dante & simone’s wedding was such a sweet little addition to this book, and i absolutely love them together. i cannot wait to read the next one! the one thing i really hope does not happen for riona and raylan in the future is a pregnancy. she was so adamant about not wanting kids or to be married and i hope the gets what she wanted by the end of this series. if she willingly changes her mind, i will be all for it, but if she’s convinced or forced, i will be extremely disappointed.
