Kev Merripen 
 Win Hathaway 
 This quote pretty much sums this book up for me: 
 "I love you, he thought, looking at Win. I love every part of you, every thought and word...the entire complex, fascinating bundle of all the things you are. I want you with ten different kinds of need at once. I love all the seasons of you, the way you are now, the thought of how much more beautiful you'll be in the decades to come. I love you for being the answer to every question my heart could ask." 
 Not melting already? If no, something is seriously wrong with you. Kidding, sort of.... 
 Sooooo good! Amazing from beginning to end!!! Better than the first book in this series IMO. Loved that Kleypas went back and gave us snippets of when Win and Kev first met, when he took care of her when she had scarlet fever and how they grew closer from there. Gave the story and characters so much more depth and authenticity. Such a sweet, raw, intense love story. Kev just made me swoon! He's such a devastating hero I loved everything about him from his quiet broodishness and overprotectiveness to his passionate longing for a woman who he thinks he's not good enough for. Loved loved loved it. I liked the fact that all the other Hathaways were in the book, it made the story even more charming and fun to read and I'm hoping it continues through the rest of the books. I'm also really glad she revealed Kev and Cam's mysterious background and revealed their roots. Very passionate angsty love story. Kev and Win take your breath away! They are my absolute fav. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could. :P
