 Oh my! Cohen Cage has aged, and aged well. In the first book in the Hope Town series we are introduced to the next generation of all the characters we've grown to love from the Corps Security series. Cohen is first introduced to us in Cage and every time he entered a scene in the remaining books of the Corps Security series he absolutely stole the show. He's grown from an adorable cape wearing ninja fighting boy, to a totally hot badass alpha man who will fight anyone (including Axel) to claim what has always been his. 
 Dani is absolutely amazing in this book. She knows that Cohen belongs to her and has known since she was a little girl. They were destined to be together. The first of the book gives us a pretty clear picture of the challenges that have faced them. Not only do they have the connection between the families to deal with, there is an extremely protective father in the mix, and Cohen is set for deployment for undisclosed amount of time. It takes a little time and some very heartfelt emotional conversations mixed with a scorching hot goodbye scene to get them to commit, but once they do there is no looking back. 
 For a good part of this story Dani and Cohen are separated by distance. The love they feel for one another is expressed to others around them and in letters. It solidified their connection to one another and really showed a realistic picture of what one goes through while being deployed and leaving your loved ones behind. During this time, Dani delivered some of the most beautiful declarations of love I have read. Ms. Harper totally nailed it. You could feel their love and devastation of being apart flow off each page. 
 The mix of the old cast from the prior series to the new cast taking over the Hope Town series was superb. We get a lot of interaction from both Dani and Cohen's parents and it was amazing to see the balance work out perfectly. Axel and Dani had some genuine tear wiping scenes. He is not ready to let his baby girl go, but he knows he couldn't have picked a better man than Cohen. It's very emotional to watch him and Dani have some real heart to heart moments and ultimately watch him release her into Cohen's waiting arms. 
 It's been a while since I read a book and simply loved everything about it. I loved the characters, loved the plot, loved the bit of suspense mixed in, but I absolutely without a doubt LOVED LOVED LOVED the relationship between Dani and Cohen. I can't wait to read more about all these new characters that I'm sure will have some amazing stories to share.
