Promises Prevail
It is a very well written book. I like the story line and also that it has references back to the other books, who have some of the same people in them. I am looking forward to more like it.

Clint is perfect in a very hot MANLY way.The characters are believable and the support characters add richness and texture to the story. I cannot rave enough about it. Sarah McCarty is more than just talented, she has a gift.
