I absolutely LOVED this book! The author does a good job of developing Kerry's character so that she becomes a friend whom you know well. You are able to relate to her and feel her fear, heartache, frustration and joys as she does. Luke is another of my favorite characters. He is charming and annoying in turns and the combination makes him completely irresistable. I like that she pulls characters from the first book into this one and continues to develop them. As Luke struggles to keep Kerry safe once, he is forced to find time to also deal with his faith (or lack thereof) and his feelings for his estranged father. If he can't come to terms with himself...how can he hope to win Kerry's heart? (after he's helped her brothers capture the man who kidnapped her!) I found it very amusing that at times, Luke is siding with Kerry's brothers...while other times, he is making sure she gets exactly what she needs in spite of them! This is a great read for anyone from 8 -98. It can stand alone, but I really enjoyed how well it followed the first book. I am looking forward to seeing what the next book in the series deals with! I would rate this book a 5/5. It's JUST been released, so be sure to look it up on amazon or authorhouse!
