Alana Matthews

Good book. I liked both Rafe and Lisa. Lisa hadn't known what her husband was really like when she married him, but when it became obvious what a monster he was she divorced him. Unfortunately, He is obsessed with her and attacks her in her own home. Rafe is the responding officer and is thrilled to be reunited with her, but not so happy when he finds out who her ex is. When he takes it upon himself to warn Oliver to stay away from Lisa, he becomes a target. Lisa knows immediately that she show more still loves Rafe, and feels guilty for not telling him about their daughter. I did like the fact that she didn't put it off too long even though she was worried about his reaction. I also liked the way that she had the courage to stand up for herself against her ex. I liked the way that Rafe took to Chloe right away, even before he knew she was his. I also really liked his protective instincts. Unfortunately he had a bad habit of acting before really thinking things through which got him in some hot water. I liked the way the whole family pulled together and hope to see more of them in future books. I also loved Rafe's grandmother - she was fun. show less
