4 STARS
This was a highly emotional story. It had good main characters. Secondary people in the story were good as well.
Jake realizes that Alanna isn't the pampered princess that he was expecting. She is an extremely hard working tough woman. Tough because she's had to be. Alanna trusts no one. Well maybe one woman was a best friend who was super busy with her husband and children.
Jake was an unknown and outsiders were never trusted by the family. But then she couldn't trust anyone inside her family or outside of it. Her family definitely defines dysfunctional. She describes them as circling sharks. Seems accurate. Especially her brother, Fowler. He was one nasty piece of work. Not hard to dislike at all. He was a big mucky muck in the corporate world but felt he knew everything about everything. Arrogant and pushy to the bone.
Both of the main characters have several other things in common other than their strong attraction to each other. They both are carrying many strong responsibilities. They both have fathers with unrealistic often unreasonable expectations of their children.
There is plenty of danger to go around coming from several directions. It provided plenty of action especially towards the end. It was a good story with a happy ending.
