Braden is the youngest of the MacAllister brothers, but his story comes first (technically, "Master of Desire" is the 1st MacAllister series book, but you won't miss a thing if you skip it). Braden and Maggie have a simple story -- the young boy who returns home as a man and finds himself face to face with the woman he has all but ignored all his life suddenly turning his head . . . But the true pearl in this story is Maggie.

Maggie is a strong woman, and her desire to stop the feud her clan has fought for five years is believable and noble, and the method she uses is perfect. Kinley MacGregor really thought out the backstory -- not simply using it to propel the lead characters into the sack.

Although the storyline is simple, she develops Braden and Maggie well. Don't let the first 5 pages fool you -- you will come to love Braden and CHEER for Maggie.

Move on to the next book, Born in Sin, which is my favorite MacAllister Novel, although this one rates a close second.
