I enjoyed this 3rd book in the series featuring Mason and Hunter.

Id say the subject matter in this one is a little bit darker, more angsty than the previous books in the series but it works. Mason and Hunter, have secrets and pasts that haunt them and together they work to overcome these. I would have liked to see maybe one of the 'past issues' resolved a little different - it felt unfinished BUT maybe the series continues and this will be resolved going forward.

This is the third book I have read by this author but the first book in this four-part series. I loved, loved the Chesapeake Bay series and was equally sure I would love this one also. You just know that Mason & Hunter are going to be perfect for each other...even though they came from completely different backgrounds. We learned early on that both guys had been deeply hurt and seemed almost afraid to trust that they could heal. Their families weren't train wrecks going somewhere to happen...they had ALREADY happened. Mason's twin sister died of an overdose and Hunter's father and mother were both addicts, but both men were determined to climb out of that hole if they possibly could. We also learned that both of them had secrets that had the ability to kill their budding relationship. Katheryn McIntyre tells a story with such depth that the reader feels every victory but also every setback. Thank you Ms McIntyre for giving me the opportunity to read yet another of your wonderful stories. Also for taking the time and trouble seeing that I received it,

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest opinion. The views expressed by this reviewer are entirely my own ( )
