Yes, it's a good romance & enjoyable.
But...it sure had a lot of flaws!
Poor Daniel; 18 for 4 yrs (several books) & in just 1 yr, he's aged 6 more! The changes in the children's ages just didn't seem to mesh...timeline seemed off.
Appreciated Daniel's patience...though disappointed by lack of foreplay when finally consummated...her fear would have left her dry & therefore led to the pain she was afraid of. Felt like an aborted effort, like the author didn't know how to move forward.
Disgusted with the revenge/avenge portion...after nearly dying it simply doesn't make sense to risk one's life again before healing. I would have been livid & not appreciated the sentiment as romantic & loving, but rather as selfish & stupid. I would have wanted my love alive & well & with me. It's a novel, so it could end well, but I found it undermined everything that had been said & done (Ian, H&h, father/Cam). I was also disgusted at the so easily resolved "don't worry, I'll kill him; because I am a policeman, I can get away with it."
As usual, some of the best parts were invention/adventures & so the children. She did a better job at incorporating the family into this story.
So, I enjoyed it, but experienced lots of frustration.
