My Thoughts:

I am kind of on the fence about this book—it is not that I did not like it, I just didn’t love it. While Gemma was spunky and determined to fight it out in what is viewed as a man’s world and Trace is completely and utterly charming, I found that I was a bit put off by Ava.

Whenever Ava’s story appeared in the book, it seemed to throw the pace of the book a bit off kilter. Also, I was hoping that there would be more of the baby situation in the book, yet it seems to all be crammed into the ending.

What saved the book for me and kept me continuously flipping the pages was the chemistry between Trace and Gemma. I loved whole from fierce competitors to red-hot lovers aspect, it truly help the book together.

Overall, this was a pleasing fast-paced. While it wasn’t my favorite novel from Carolyn Brown, I still highly recommend it.
