So intense, and different. So far, I love Grace and Quinn's story. Not the typical love with a little bit of conflict story, but a lot of conflict, with real hard-to-make choices. I am definitely following to the next book!

I patiently waited for this story (not). I purchased it as a pre-order and breathlessly awaited it's arrival on my Kindle.  This story was just PERFECT!  I always wondered about Bhrodi de Shera's parents (his story is in SERPENT) and now I have to wonder no more.

Ms. Le Veque wove the stories of the de Winters (Lespada), the de Wolfes (The Wolfe), the du Bois' (Unending Love), the de Morays (The Gorgon), and the de Lohrs (Rise of the Defender) all into one book - wow!  It was wonderful catching up with my favorite heroes and their progeny.  It felt like I was reading about old friends. I had always wondered what happened at the end of Lespada, The Wolfe, Unending Love, The Gorgon, and Rise of the Defender. Well, look no further - a lot of answers about those characters appears in this book. It was like having extra prologues for those books woven into this story.

I'm anxiously anticipating Book #2 and Book #3, where the author continues the story of Tiberius and Maximus.  Hopefully Ms. Le Veque will also add more tidbits/prologues about the lives of the other supporting characters too.  The author never ceases to amaze me with her gift of storytelling.

I absolutely loved this book. The story was so unique and amazing. The characters were so real. The story brought out emotions from me from laughing to crying to being upset. I really can not wait for book 2, even though I know I must, but I hope it is not a long wait.

(on a side note, I do not see the feature to show that I purchased this through Amazon but rest assured, I did)

I loved this story!!!!  This is my first read by this author and it definitely won't be my last.  I loved Chloe and Gavin's story so much!!  It was full of love, loss, friendship, angst and OMG...the feels!!!! They met as children/neighbors and their relationship was normal(like normal neighbor friends), until it becomes more!!!  I couldn't put it down.  One line that sticks with me is "I wanted to tell him all my secrets but instead he became mine".  That sucked me RIGHT IN and kept me reading well into the morning!!!  Did I mention it was angsty?? I love these kinds of books.  I can't wait to read what this author has next!!! I was pleasantly surprised, since I went into it without ever having read any of her books!!

THIS BOOK. So much love for this story!!!

Fabulous word-building and an artfully-woven plot layered with mystery, adventure, magic and swoon. A don't-miss debut!

Count me in for book 2!!!!

I absolutely love this story!! Ms. Holt's descriptive language is so poetically beautiful, her phrasing so exquisite, her emotion so deep, that I cried in several places...The hero, Julian, is a marquess,...He's handsome, sexy, romantic, but he has been so emotionally traumatized by the deaths of his wives (one in childbirth) that he feels he cannot love again...People of the town shun him because they see him as some kind of "death angel" who caused his wives' deaths...After writing beautifully-worded letters to Viola, a mysterious American pen-pal, for two years, he is astounded to find her standing on his doorstep, soaking wet from a freezing downpour and carrying his letters...Somehow she has mistakenly gotten the idea that he has wanted to marry her...
  Julian & Viola fall in love almost at once, but both of them carry a lot of emotional baggage...There are not a lot of extra characters, like ding-y friends or jealous exes, that bog down the story, and that's a nice change...Instead, the story is about an emotional journey of two matched souls who find their way to each other...They don't even have sex until about 2/3 of the way through the story (but when they do, grab hold and hang on tight!!)
  Julian has a brusque, hard demeanor that hides a damaged, lonely, romantic soul...Viola's straightforwardness, honesty, kindness & sparkling love of life slowly begin to open Julian and bring him back to life...
  A lovely, sweet story...

I absolutely loved this!!! You think you know Maura from Here's to Tomorrow,  but oh no you don't. I loved getting her story. And Tucker, oh man, what can I say about Tucker...... SWOON!!! I fell in love with him in HTT and him having his story..... <3 This is definite must read. I laughed, cursed and had leaky eyes at parts. Can't wait for Teagan's next book.

I LOVED THIS STORY.....I LOVED IT SO MUCH I READ IT TWICE, BACK TO BACK, AND FOUND THINGS I MISSED THE FIRST TIME.  WHEN I READ A STORY I DON'T WANT TO THINK, I WANT TO FEEL.  THIS STORY DID EVERYTHING FOR ME IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DO.  I LAUGHED, I CRIED, I WAS SURPRISED SOMETIMES. I WANT TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE STORY, I WANT TO FEEL THEIR LOVE, I WANT TO FEEL THEIR HAPPINESS AND JOY. THEIR SADNESS AND PAIN ARE PART OF THE STORY, BUT I TAKE IT TO HEART, I CRY FOR THESE PEOPLE, I CAN FEEL THEIR PAIN. SOME TIMES I CRY SO HARD I SOB.  I WANT A HAPPY ENDING, I NEED A HAPPY ENDING, BECAUSE READING FOR ME IS ABOUT ESCAPE AND LIVING SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE FOR A SHORT WHILE. I LOVED THIS STORY SO MUCH, I HAVE PURCHASED THE REST OF THE SERIES AND WHEN I'M FINISHED WITH THE OKLAHOMA BRANDS, I'M MOVING ON THE THE TEXAS BRANDS.

I loved this book, I loved this book!!!! I read it in one sitting which is weird because my last read was like that as well. I love when books completely take over like that. This was a quick read as well. I loved Daniel and Mac!!! This story was amazing! I just want to gush all day!
I haven't started checking to see who will be in the sequels, but now I'm very curious. Can't wait to see who's next!!!
