Over the years and with each subsequent series, Balogh's romances have been a strange mix of solid, likable characters; intriguing family dynamics; and slow-building, tender loves. Which makes it all the more puzzling that her stories seem to just get stuck in the so-so range, rarely pulling out in front of the pack anymore. Alexander and Wren are certainly people to like, along with the entire Westcott family, and Wren's traumatic childhood is sure to make your heart ache, but overall, it was just this side of dull. 3 stars.
