Il bellissimo il personaggio di Cole (e non solo in senso fisico, anzi, soprattutto dal punto di vista caratteriale) finalmente ha la sua storia, pure se accanto a un personaggio femminile, Shannon, non proprio alla sua altezza per tutto quello che gli farà passare.
Shannon, infatti, sconta un passato non certo semplice che ha contribuito a chiuderla in sé stessa tanto da renderla ottusa nei confronti di Cole, al contrario, la personificazione della dolcezza e della rettitudine.
Del resto, lei si trovare anche a combattere con una pessima sorella e due genitori che si fanno ottundere dalle apparenze e non concedono neanche un grammo di fiducia a nessuno se non a loro stessi.
Una bella storia che sconta però un po’ troppo, a mio gusto, il tira e molla per le insicurezze di Shannon che non riesce a capire chi ha davanti.

Good story.
Loyal, non man-whore Hero.
Hero does date another after being turned down by the heroine.
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
Loads of scenes with secondary characters and previous characters and couples from earlier books in series.

4 Stars - Cole was everything I knew he would be. Caring, strong and not a player which was awesome. This book was quite enjoyable. I do wish it would have been from Cole's point of view as he's the character we've read about from the past 5 books. That said, he was very upfront with his thoughts so even though this book was from Shannon’s pov, we still got to see most of what he is thinking.

Shannon was coming out of a bad relationship and I felt she progressed through her emotions well. Also, the secondary characters in this story were a lively bunch and only added to the story.

Elle Newlands did a fantastic job as narrator. She puts a lot of feeling and emotion in her performances.

Very good story with Cole and Shannon, a good girl too afraid from her past mistakes to see what she had in front of her. At he beginning of the book I wanted to slap some sense in her but I forgave her because she was too traumatized. Cole is a wonderful hero and he did deserve his place in heaven with Shannon! ( )

2 stars... it was only okay for me. I didn't connect with Shannon at all. Cole was awesome and I wish he would have gotten someone better. This is my least favorite in the series and that's a bummer because I was really looking forward to Cole's story. ( )
