My Rating: ★★★★
My Thoughts:
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had to laugh at the antics of the main character, Aiden, to woo Katie over. He was relentless in getting her to admit that she loved him and wanted to be with him. But through it all he knew Katie better than she knew herself it seemed. He was caring and did things to help her and she didn’t know, she just thought he was being annoying and pestering her. I think Katie secretly enjoyed the back and forth that took place between herself and Aiden.
I liked how the book weaved some of the history of the Cheyenne into the story. It showed the struggles that were faced back in the day and how you can’t judge someone by first appearances. You never know what secret that might have and it could surprise you. I thought the book was well written and seemed to be one of the better books so far in the series.
Overall I enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the next one in the series to see how the other characters fared.
