Still not quite a 5 star rating, but it did rock my socks in a way Phantom Waltz didn't. I loved the Kendrick men, but Jake was...wow. Definitely my kind of hero. Struggling, trying to make ends meet, a self-made man in every respect. 

Molly made me cry a few times. I appreciated the fact that she was short, plump and had to learn who she is. The slow build up Molly and Jake's relationship, the struggle they each had with falling in love and working things out felt genuine and well paced.

There were several points in the story where I thought, "Wait, that was taken from Hamlet" or "Back up cowboy, that plot device was used in Baby Love". The heroine was once again on the run from a Bad Person, there was a lot of drama surrounding her past and of course she was in mortal danger before the book was over, but the repetition didn't bother me. While I would love to read a book by Anderson where there wasn't some grand conspiracy surrounding the heroine or her relationship with the hero, I'm still really enjoying the series. The key is to not read any of them back to back. I figure about one a month will be a good pace.
