How could a slow burn story be so hot? The story of Aurora and Jack was both heartbreaking and up lifting. I know it may seem hard to believe when you first start this story, but Aurora evolves into Rory, a strong, amazingly funny woman who isn't afraid to make her choices and state her mind. And Jack loves her for it. And he doesn't beat his chest and insist things have to be his way. But he's there to support her and encourage her and never allow her to think he doesn't care for her. This is a bit of a departure from the usual marriage as a business decision story and I LOVE IT. The author is able to evoke such emotions from her characters I feel as if I know them and I'm crying and laughing along with them. Looking forward to the rest of the Donnelly stories.
