I rather enjoyed this book. The story was cute and entertaining though there are a few things I take exception with. 
 First, Brenna appears to be far to simple minded. She's not stupid by any regard but when it comes to Connor's step-mother she bows to all the woman's wishes and decisions. She seems to be easily manipulated by this woman and it takes her far too long to stand up for herself which I'm not sure would have happened if things hadn't escalated. 
 Connor seems gruff and hard 99% of the time and it doesn't seem to change until the end. 
 Still having said this, the book was an adventure and a great respite from the world. I also hope it is a wonderful lead into Connor's lieutenant's book.
