Courtland is a wonderful hero to make the heart swoon. He is described as "calm, boring", but looking upon his past would suggest anything but. He does not shy away from adventure, but he prefers to avoid it when possible.

The beautiful, young, free-spirited Cassandra is the women we wish we were (at least this lady does, so I don't speak for all). I suspect I am not alone in picturing myself in the appropriate role as I read, and boy did I have fun chasing after my dreams as Cassandra.

I did find a flaw to this book, but I love the story so much I will overlook it. When Cassandra and Courtland attempt to fall in love (sorry if this spoils it for you), his big hurdle is looking beyond the fact she is 18 and he is presumably 10+ years her senior. I have to agree with him. At 18, I was strong and young at heart, but I dare say I didn't really know my heart. This factor is eventually moved on, but not from her aging a few years. I ignored the age factor to submerge myself in the love story, but others more picky than myself may have a problem with that.

It's a unique story of rivalry, betrayal, and bond of a very special kind of family. I loved getting to know these characters. I feel the prologue pulled you in and the book kept rolling from there. Great read!
