4 Hearts! ~~~ Another emotional roller coaster ride!   Maggie's loved her best friend's brother since she was a child who stuck to him like glue.  Clint adored the child, but when the child was becoming a woman, he became uncomfortable with her adoration.  Scaring her away was easy, and becoming enemies proved the best way to stay at arms length.  At Clint's sister's waggling, Clint agrees to let Maggie stay at the ranch while she heal a broken heart.   Sparking Maggie to life comes easy to Clint but dealing with his own feelings proves another matter.  There are some deeply emotional moments where Clint is almost hateable, but as all great heroes do, he redeems himself wonderfully.

I really loved this book. I was completely thrown off by the first scene with the Hero, Clint, having a crazy hot time with a model. My first thought was, "are you kidding me?

4 Hearts! ~~~ This is my first read from Ms. Loy and it will not be my last!  This is a fun, witty, romantic read with a drool worthy hero that will charm your socks off and a fiesty heroine that will make you laugh with her quick humour and cry with her inner turmoil.  This lovestory drew me in from the first pages and I quickly found myself at the end. 

My, my, my, this story just dragged me in and I had a hard time putting it down. It was sassy and cute, steamy and sexy, funny and sad. What a great story. Joanne Rock you are aptly named because for me this story ROCKED. Thanks for introducing me to your characters Kyra and Jesse, what a pair they are. I also liked the sub story going on in here too. Excellent!

4 Hearts! ~~~ Ms. Hamilton has given us wonderful characters that we quickly care about.  Their's is an emotionally intense journey, one that kept me turning the pages.
