I have to say that this book started a bit dry. There was a lot of detail put into Teagan and what she was working on. At first, I was a little lost in how this was going to tie into the Corsis family. However, as the story went on, it all made sense. I appreciated it, even more, when I saw the interactions with Judy. Teagan was a hard character to get a read on but I did eventually warm up to her. Gian was an interesting character and I liked them together. I look forward to where this author is going with this series. I am here for their stories. I also cannot wait until Judy gets her story too and I get to see Dominic in that position of watching his daughter grow up.

There is something about this author that sticks out. I first discovered this author with Dominic's story. It felt like I had come full circle with this book because I got to see him again in a new light. There were a few scenes (one of which where he was reminiscing about how he first met his wife, that made me remember the books distinctly. That says something about these characters because I have read more books than I can count off of the top of my head but I still remember them. It is also a testament to this author's ability to craft a story.

I did want a few areas to be fleshed out more, one of which was Teagan's "job" because so much detail went into creating this that it felt like it was just left out there in limbo. I wanted it to be more pivotal in front and center. I also wanted further explanation of what Gian finally decided to do. I don't see his family as accepting his "cover" as his new career choice. Other than that, it was a solid book and another great addition to this author's many books. ( )
