Overall I enjoyed the story. I liked Mairi, she was pretty smart and resilient. I did not love Alec, but he was ok. I hate the dead ex trope so it detracted from my enjoyment. Not that she was talked about a lot, but she was the reason he stole Mairi and had only died a few months (maybe close to a year) prior; so she was ever-present. It is a personal preference issue and one I find difficult to look past.
The kids were cute and sweet. But I thought their relationship with their dad was kinda sad. And I just did not see enough improvement there to make me increase my score. That and how long it took for the MCs to be anything real also kept my score down.
Safety Gang (view spoiler)[ even as a widow, heroin is a virgin Hero's prior marriage was arranged and not a love match but they were together many years (11 or so). no talk of him being with women after wife's death

This was hard to rate. Pretty contrived plot and it would have been ok. But the whole town and his mom? They bugged me. But the reason this could not This was hard to rate. Pretty contrived plot and it would have been ok. But the whole town and his mom? They bugged me. But the reason this could not be higher than a four star was the hero. He was not alpha. He was more silent than not. And frankly I found him a bit of a doormat. Never have I ever written that about a male MC!!!
It was not bad, just not my thing. And I normally like this author. ...more
I really enjoyed this and liked the world building around the family. Plan to keep reading. Not sure why Archer was so messed up over maybe 3.5 stars.
I really enjoyed this and liked the world building around the family. Plan to keep reading. Not sure why Archer was so messed up over the incident in Boston. He literally had nothing to do with it. But ok it sets up the story....the plot was just slightly too far fetched for me to rate higher....more

The heroes were all OTT alphas. The heroines were not TSTL doormats. And there was a bit of humor mixed in with the expected violence in a mafia romance. Nero was my favorite hero until I got to Hans. He was just so ridiculous I loved him! But Nero is still a close second. And he gets funny in the later books.......more
I really kinda hated this heroine. She was a whiney unlikeable brat. I have no clue why Toren had any interest in her. And then the secret is revealedI really kinda hated this heroine. She was a whiney unlikeable brat. I have no clue why Toren had any interest in her. And then the secret is revealed and I honestly felt like she was just an entitled bitch who felt the rules did not apply to her. And who cares who she destroys.
I like Anna Hackett and am sure I will get into this series. But this book felt a bit light. I don't know - it just did not get me very excited. And sI like Anna Hackett and am sure I will get into this series. But this book felt a bit light. I don't know - it just did not get me very excited. And seemed short. But it was enough for me to read the next one.
not my favorite Nora Roberts. Such a big expansive story. I loved the last 3rd of the book. Loved the grandmother and their adult relationship. But genot my favorite Nora Roberts.
