I didn't love this book as well as the others, and I think it was because the hero and heroine actually liked each other LOL. I mean in the beginning Romero pushes Lily away because she is young. He sees her as a kid, and as the reader (For Me) It was hard to stop seeing her as the kid. 
 I love Cora Reilly and i'll continue to read her work, but this didn't work for me.
