4.5 stars
Wendy Smith writes such real and down-to-earth characters, in real-life settings and every day situations. There are no billionaires, no penthouses and no secret virgins, just good story lines, lots of emotions and plenty of realism. The story not only introduces us to Drew and Hayley, but also allows us to catch up with Adam and Lily.
Drew is a sweet, kind-hearted and generous man and Hayley isn't the only one who fell in love with him. Even though at the start of the book he was letting his (then) girlfriend treat him badly, he never came across as a wimp or loser. Hayley is a strong women and very committed to her role as a midwife. The connection between Hayley and Drew felt both natural and believable, and their chemistry was off the charts.
One of the strengths of these books is in the way the bothers are portrayed and the amazing bonds that the individuals have with each other and anyone they consider to be 'family'. There are no glib nor easy resolutions to problems but just the knowledge that with love, honesty and hard work a solution can be found.
The story is so well written, I find the author's writing style easy to read, the pace is steady and I always knew where I was in the timeline. I was a little surprised by the 'dark' twist and sense of impending danger in parts of this book. It's not something I would have expected from this author but I definitely enjoyed it and felt it really added something to the book. I've read much darker books but somehow this part of the story line really made me anxious and definitely had me on tenterhooks! Part of this story line was left 'dangling' but I'm assuming that it will be resolved either in Owen or most likely Corey's book.
Talking of Owen and Corey it was good to see more of the brothers, and to learn a little more about them. I'm really looking forward to their stories too.
