If you love reading because of those books that pull you in and make it to where you can't quit thinking about them, don't want to put them down until you finish, then BUY THIS BOOK!! It is THAT GOOD! I used to read Sandra Brown years ago but haven't picked up many of her novels over the last few years. Wow! I have been missing out! I live in the south and my husband is a logger, runs a skidder, and we live very close to the Louisiana border, so I definitely identified with this book since it has all of those factors in it. I have many friends from Louisiana and visit there often. So I can definitely say that Sandra Brown makes this book authentic in all of the above. You FEEL like you are RIGHT THERE with the characters. But even if the book did not resonate with me in those ways, I still would give it 5 stars. It is suspenseful, dramatic, romantic in a weird sort of way, and I love how she writes a background and story for each character she mentions. I felt like the book did not leave anything unturned and I was completely satisfied at the end.When the main character Schyler takes matters into her own hands with Jigger's dogs I was blown away! My mouth was hanging open with my hand covering it and I was saying, "Oh my God!, I can't believe she did that! You go girl!" It was one of the best scenes in the book. She is a very strong woman and there were many scenes just as equally jaw dropping and awesome as that one. I read many reviews before I purchased the book that talked about Cash and not liking his character at all. But that is why I say it was romantic "in a weird way". Although he is very crass and rude in his language and how he treats women, I think Sandra Brown does such a good job at building his character that the reader should understand him and see his heart and why he is the way he is. It makes him forgivable and makes you root for him and Schyler despite his terrible ways.I hated to have to put this book down to go to work during the day and found myself trying so hard to keep my eyelids open at night because I did not want to quit reading. I thought about it all during the day while working and just wanted to get done with everything for the day so I could start reading it again. It's books like these that keep me addicted to reading and I promise you that you won't regret buying it! It is that good!
