Okay so I've been a harsh reviewer for these books. 
 I don't know whether or not I'd really recommend these books to anyone but should someone ask me I would say that while they are the most well written, and while the story seems almost predictable at times they aren't bad and I did enjoy them. 
 One major complaint I will continue to have is these almost overbearing men. I don't mind a dominate man in a story but I feel as if Glines heroes push the envelop at times. 
 Many reviewers have complained about Woods getting needy in this book and I'm not sure if this is before or after the shocking revelation. I will say this, in the beginning of the story, Woods' need to be with Della seemed a little over the top but towards the end and after the shock... I completely understood it. 
 Now onto said shock. Why? While I've been critical I would still say that Abbi Glines has entertained me. But now I feel anger towards her. The "shock" in this book was out of left field and not in a good way. I do believe this is all to set up a story for Tripp. Other readers don't want his story but I'm not one of those. I don't mind Tripp having a story but not at the expense of characters I've come to enjoy and actually hope had a story of their own. I'm thinking now that is impossible and my mind is predicting how Tripp's story will go and the effect it will have on Rosemary. 
 I can't say I'm happy about it but I will say that the "shock" has made me what to know how the residents of Rosemary carry on and how Tripp coming to town to stay effects everyone else. But first more about Grant....
