Once I got past the way the heroine spoke, along with the frequent use of the word "alas" (a word which I now hate), I enjoyed this book. This was better, for me, than the past couple of KA's books. 
 Liked the hero and his kids - interesting side stories with the teens. Wish the heroine would have "loosened up" earlier than she did. 
 Looking forward to the next books in this series . . . Mickey? Coert?
