Having read and thoroughly enjoyed all of Jennifer Ryan's previous romances, I was excited to see she was starting a new series featuring the McGrath's. The hero, Tate McGrath, was introduced in Tough Talking Cowboy. From the time Liz was five years old, she knew that she would marry Tate. Too bad it took almost losing her to another man for Tate to realize they were meant to be together! This was a fantastic start to a new series, plenty of romance, drama, endearing and believable characters with a touch of suspense. Everything you need for a great story and I can't wait to see what is in store for the other two single McGrath's! Both Trinity and Declan deserve their own happily ever after.

Tate and Liz have been best friends forever, but when she eventually wants more and he doesn't, she decides to move on. Sadly though, she picks a guy who has control issues and violence issues, and gets scary. That is when Tate finally realizes what he could and should have, but is it too late? Overall a good story, and kept my interest throughout. Found Tate a little thick headed at times, and felt his change happened too quickly but I guess that is fine. Also felt the police and others were a bit too open, but again, I guess I would want to know too. Hard to put this one down, and would recommend it. Not sure why, but actually felt a bit sorry for Clint. Help came a bit too little too late.

This is the first book I have read from this author and I loved it. I will have to go back and read her earlier work.

Tate and Liz have been friends since elementary school. They were each others person without the romantic entanglements. They have remained loyal friends through it all. Until Liz finally realizes that Tate is never going to see her as a friend.

I liked the character of Tate. For some reason I could really understand him. He had completely put Liz in the friend zone and would not ever entertain anything else. That was why the first time he feels a little jealous he loses it. It was like to put blinders on to her. He knew she had interest in him but chose to ignore it.

Liz was a woman I could admire. She was sick of pining for Tate and decided that she wanted someone who wanted her like a woman. Unfortunately for her, she didn't pick the best guy to start this I am woman here me roar thing. The things I loved reading about Liz was the stages of everything that she went though. She ran the gambit on her feeling towards Tate the whole book and also all the stages towards her stalker. She would be scared one moment and then she would get upset and not hide from him.

The book had lots of ups and downs. There was sweet and sexy times along with fun and banter. There was also suspense and drama so basically this book has everything!
