I wasn't interested in reading about Steele so I skipped the last book and eagerly awaited this one. I am so disappointed. I have a few problems with this book. The first is there was no connection between Eve & Donovan. He was in love with her before she even spoke to him. He started considering Eve and her siblings as his after two days. If someone called me their daughter after knowing them for a few days I'd be very creeped out. The second problem was the phrases that were repeated every few pages. It was irritating to read that Donovan has weakness for women and children but especially children over and over again. Any decent man would be concerned about women and children. It was also irritating to read the words "Eve and Travis and Cammie " over and over. The last problem is the way the author refers to the women of the story as "The Wives". The way she says it makes it sound like they are helpless and brainless and couldn't breathe without the help of a man. I would like to see more strong women in the future KGI books in addition to PJ.

I've loved this series and was really looking forward to Donovan's story, but this was a disappointment. The last 100 pages were what I hoped for, action, passion, and a happy ending. Unfortunately the first 300 pages were bland, repetitive, and completely forgettable. Much of the hero's time is spent feeding and tucking in for a nap the heroine and her siblings. There were only one or two mentions of Donovan's computer skills and intelligence in the course of the entire book! I'm used to tactical planning and guns blazing from Banks' characters; I won't be adding this one to the others on my keeper shelf. Ditto the other reviewer's comments on referring to the heroines from the rest of the series as "the wives." We know their amazing individual stories; they deserve more than token group mentions and online shopping as their "activity."
Love this series
