I was very surprised by Caleb Hamilton. He is so much like a man that any of us would want forever. He is kind, loving, compassionate and so needing love. He has suffered all his life because he is a bastard. He has been kept outside for something that wasn't his fault. He loves his father and his father loves him. He has made his way in the world and has ever let it stop him from doing what he wants to better himself. He is a perfect match for Sophie. They are both outsiders in society and they both need the love of someone.
This is much better story than I ever thought it would be. There is a small misunderstanding but it is quickly resolved. This is also a story of betrayal and desperation. Trevor Hamilton was a nasty piece of work. He goes off the deep in and almost takes his and Caleb's father with him. It would be nice to see a book were he is finally redeemed but that is so unlikely. So few people ever get over their addiction. This is also a quick read. I definitely recommend this book. ( )
