Sam Weiss is completely SWOON-WORTHY! I LOVED this story from start to finish! I just love a story centered around a storm. This story follows an unlikely couple during a weekend ice storm. Locked in a mansion-sized cabin with only a fireplace and each other to keep them warm?--what could be more romantic!

5 STARS!!! I can't wait for the next is this new series!

I don't know why I'm surprised at how much I loved this story. As a regular reader of Nalini Singh's books, I should've known she would find a way to write an amazing story while keeping it fresh and entertaining. I really felt like Kit and Noah's story has been in the making from the first book and I'm so glad it's finally their turn to shine.

Noah and Kit have been friends since before both of them became famous. They have this bond that ties them closely together, or at least Kit thought so. I was as devastated as she was when that proved to be false. I completely understand why Kit retreated from their friendship, but I also can see how she'd jump at the chance to help him when he called. Kit isn't selfish. She loves and cares for her friends with her whole being. There's little she won't do to help someone she cares for.

Noah is hurting so badly. There were moments when I was afraid he'd hurt himself. I really wanted to comfort him and let him know things would be okay but he was going to need to make the effort to get help, and all of this was before I knew what had happened to him. I hurt so much for Noah. I hurt even more knowing those who should have helped and comforted him, failed him and continued to do so. I didn't like the how Noah handled his issues only because they didn't help him and they involved using other people, but it was amazing to see how different he was when it came to Kit. He was willing to make sacrifices and do things different to help her, which made me realize Noah really did care for Kit even if he thought he couldn't show it the way she wanted him to.

One of the aspects that took me by surprise was the emphasis on the emotional and mental well being of Noah and Kit. It's also one of my favorite parts of this book. Kit and Noah have this chemistry that's palpable. You can tell Kit is empathetic and willing to do whatever it takes to help Noah. She never lets him fully retreat, even when he's hurting her, and the same with Noah. He may lash out, but he knows he's hurting her even if that isn't his intent.

I really loved how Nalini handled the trauma Noah had experienced. It's not sugar coated and it was often painful to read just because I could see the effects it had on Noah and his quality of life. Would I have loved to see Noah acquiesce to getting the professional help he needs? Yes, but it was still something he would need to get on his own. It's kind of like Abe. Abe was abusing drugs and went into rehab, but he wasn't ready to quit yet and so relapsed until he was ready to quit, which allowed him to kick his habit. Speaking of Abe, I'm very excited his book is next. While it's clearly evident in this book things are not finished with his ex-wife, I can't help but wonder why they broke up in the first place. I also loved seeing Molly, Fox, Thea, and David. It's wonderful to see them happy and doing well.

It may seem like this book was all emotional and focused solely on Noah and what he needed, but that's not the case, but Kit and Noah also set fire to the page when they became intimate. The build up to it was slow, but it was fitting with the story and with Noah and Kit. I also really liked how Kit's career was involved. I had no idea who was causing Kit so much trouble up until the very end. I kept guessing through out the book, and while I had my guesses, I was never really sure. While much of the story content is heavy and deep, there are also many moments of laughter and lightness I really enjoyed.

I really feel like Nalini Singh played up to her strengths in this book. She gave us this imperfectly perfect couple and made me fall in love with them. I laughed with them, hurt with them, and loved with them. The story is fast paced, and will captivate you as it did me. I dare you not to fall for Noah and Kit, just like I did.

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 thoroughly enjoyed this story. The writing was well done and the many different layers of the story fit together into a nice little package. When Part 2 started I wasn't sure at first what was going on but it didn't take long to see that the author was bringing the entire story, MCs and secondaries, to a complete and fulfilling ending. The love, compassion, strength and devotion shown by the two MCs was heart warming and the epilogue in my opinion was outstanding. The addition of the grandmother that was Anderson's rock throughout his life and the relationship she builds with Ted was brilliant. She supports the two men in ways they didn't realize they needed while they in turn do that for others.

This entire story did a beautiful job of showing how our lives can intertwine with one another and how we can inadvertently set into motion events that will change our lives without even knowing what we did until further down the road. One act of kindness, or one act of controlling our own reactions can change the lives of several people. This story had many "hidden" lessons throughout the book that I found absolutely intriguing. I sincerely hope that this author continues to write more of these stories for us. I have definitely found a new author to add to my list :)

*Audible Review* This was my first time hearing Vance Bastian as a narrator, but just like the author, I have found a new narrator that I enjoy listening to. His voice was easy to listen to and he did a great job with this story.

I loved this book from start to finish. Lisa See knows how to bring her readers into the world of her characters from page one; I was lost in this story from the get-go. I will buy more of her books!

A wonderful story from start to finish.  I loved the chemistry between Dax and Rachel, though there were a time or two I wanted to reach through the pages and shake Dax to get him to get his head out of his butt!

Other characters were also great, Luke, Hank, Noah and Gabe.  The entire book was believable.  There were a handful of typos but not bad enough to take away from the book.

I loved when Dax busted Rachel about the ads in the paper, but let's face it, Dax had it coming to him and it did finally way his butt up!

My biggest complaint is that the future books in this series is not on Kindle Unlimited.  I'm on a fixed income and read about 30 to 40 books a month, and there is no way I could afford them all without KU.

I loved this book from start to finish. Read it in one go & couldn't put it down - sorry kids there's plenty of bread & jam in the cupboard!
It was great catching up with all the Sea Breeze couples, I loved finding out how the couples turned out & all about their ever growing families.
I see another story in the future - please  Nate & Bliss - what a story that would be!

I absolutely loved this story, or stories, I should say!  The author does an incredible job of grabbing your attention from the outset, with three unique characters and multiple different story lines for each, with the characters interacting in exciting ways throughout.  I started off "just checking it out" since I have not read choose your own stories very often.  I read it straight through in one sitting, and once I reached the end found myself tracing back to the beginning multiple times until I was confidant I had arrived at every ending possible.  It was exciting, easy to ready, logical in its flow, complex and VERY well thought out.  A highly fun and engaging read...I look forward to Mr. Schannep's next installment in this, or other similar books!

I'm not even sure where to start...this book had me glued from the first page. I absolutely could not put it down! From the laughs to the tears to the hope that transpired in my heart, I couldn't help but fall in love with this story. Kudos to Krupa for encapsulating so many emotions into a single story.
I've passed this book along to my mom and sisters- it's a great gift!

I loved this story from beginning to end. Each character was portrayed in such a clear personality.  There was every emotion:  love, survival, desperation, misunderstanding, and redemption. Very well written.
