Which, in the beginning, you can kind of understand. Now, for the rest of the book, Thorne keeps pushing her away. And since he's not much older than she is, you can assume that they were both children somewhere together, and he must have rescued her from something fairly nefarious. Cuz it would be devastating to her if she found out about her past! But at the same time, he's totally hot for her, so you know they're not related.Īnyway, right off the bat, you realize that he must have been the person who dropped her off at the orphanage, telling her to be brave. And she's held on to this because it meant that somewhere out there someone had once loved her as a child.Īnd then, as soon as Thorne is introduced, you find out that he's been avoiding her because he doesn't ever want anyone to connect her to him. OK, so from the beginning, all Kate remembers of her childhood before going to the orphanage (or whatever it was called), was someone saying, ' Be brave, my Katie.'. In other words, I probably don't need to tag this, but I will anyway. I'm not big on spoilers, but the mystery of their past was pretty evident from the get-go, and even if you don't exactly know specifics, it was easy enough to have a correct general guess. The love story between these two could have been so much better if there hadn't been so much unnecessary drama on Thorne's part. Plus, there was a cute puppy that helped push them together. Even at (what I thought) was her worst, Tessa Dare still spins a readable yarn. It's not going down as a favorite, but this was fluffy enough to scratch my trashy romance itch.

Like, I enjoyed it while I was reading it, but once it was over, I had all these complaints in my head. This is one of those that I didn't know bothered me.until I was done with it.
