Well, I said it when I reviewed and hated the last book in this series and I meant it: Terri Osburn is a great author. After reading this one, I’m chalking that last atrocity up to a fluke, or to an invasion of the author snatchers—I don’t really care which.   

The writing is stellar (as always). The dialogue is snappy. Characters this time around are supremely likeable (after an initial bout of asshattery on the hero's part). Noah’s struggle with PTSD felt real, and Carrie’s struggles as a single mom also seemed super realistic. And while my least favorite Osburn character in existence (*cough*Haleigh*cough*) made an appearance, she didn’t screw anything up too badly.

This is going to be a weird review because I loved this book, but the romance in it didn’t work for me at all. Weird for a romance reviewer, huh?

First of all, this is the follow-up to Mercy, which I adored. In THAT book, the romance worked for me on just about every level. But here, while I loved Animal and T, the romance was probably the only part of the story that wasn’t working for me. Like, at all. ​
