review 1: I was so excited to see a new book in this series and I was not disappointed. I love the stories Theodora weaves and I am a fan of the 50 states series. I wish that the heroine's back story with her dad and ex husband and the volunteer work she did were fleshed out a lot more as Josie was really smart and interesting and a lot more likeable than Beau. Beau was an ass, which Josie called him and thought quite frequently, but had his back story with an unaffectionate, frivolous, slightly alcoholic, indifferent mother and imperious, overbearing dad with high expectations, who was all about power; we may have seen what Josie saw so much earlier. I kept wanting to punch him and I think when Josie's story is revealed it was too easily dismissed and the message and feelings explo... morered in the story were so important and great to see in a romance novel. I just think because of her story she would not have jumped back into Beau's arms so easily and she would not have a friend tell him her story if she thought they had a sex only relationship-their past was too unsteady for that. Nonetheless-I liked the surprises near the end and will read the book again. Thank you for adding to my collection.
review 2: Theodora Taylor is a genius writer. From the name of the characters Josie (sounds so cute) and Beau ( just makes me think of a big country boy) to the description of the characters. Beau sounded like a raven haired Clay Mathews, yummy! Even to how engaging these characters were, the fact that the antagonist in the story are rascism and the characters own fear and anxiety stemming from their past.My only knock on this book is that many of the story lines are a bit formulaic. A very rich white man from the heroine's past comes back in to her life and puts her in a no way out unless you sex me up situation. Hey, I love this sex (there wasn't that much in this book), but I want to read more characters like Her viking Wolf; the characters were very interesting and the formula wasn't as noticeable.However, no matter who and what characters she writes, Mrs. Taylor always works in the psychology of her characters their actions explained and their motives relatable; she is a good sound writer who I am a HUGE fan of! Seriously who of us hasn't let our past convince us wrong? Who hasn't played the fool for love? less

Love a romance where a guy swallows his pride for a girl, as always to short - enjoyed it.

Great IRR, I thought the way Beau and Josie come full circle was done well.

Trying to think of yet another way to say this might be a biased review...
