This book definitely had captured my heart and definitely made up for the last two books I read from the series. I think this one has become my favorite regarding the Merricks.

This book is about Riley Buchanan...the youngest son of the Buchanans. He was thrown into Washington to search for the next cross that his sister has sent him for. What he doesn't realize is that his high school sweetheart lives there too and he's about to run into her. Will it be a happy reunion or a blown up one where she throws pies in his face? I'll go with the pies in the face.

I actually cried while reading this book because I found out what happened to Hope after Riley broke it off with her and she married another guy. Another guy who turned out to be the biggest creep ever and who I wanted to go through the book and actually beat his ass for her. How dare him. How dare what he did to her and their future.... I'll leave it dotted since I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it.

My favorite scene in the book is when Hope's ex-husband got what came to him.

This book has it's moments where I had to sit it down though and come back to it. I wanted to smack Riley around a bit when it came to loving Hope still. He didn't want loving her to come back to him. Grrr...get over it...she's the love of your life and you're meant to be with her already.

I look forward to reading the next book in the series because it's not going to be about a Merrick this time. I do still want to follow the Buchanan's though. I also want to know about the Cassus who has turned good in "Edge of Desire." What is up with that? I'm confused. =(

Hopefully, the next book can keep my interest like this one did...although I don't want another sad one. I read this one when I was pregnant and believe me that was a horrible idea.  I was bawling like a baby because of my heighten emotions.
