The best part about this book is Deke (don’t love the name). While he may have taken advantage of Laney when she was insisting on being intimate while drunk, he stepped up to the plate before he even knew what was on it.
I like this book because the characters actually engage in conversation and regular interactions without resorting to bedroom activities as they usually do in Sandra Brown novels. They talk and work on ironing out issues (even though Laney’s insecurities became annoying after a while).
I like that he didn’t just fling money at her as a way of expressing love. He treated her to gifts but he also did a lot of things himself and took note of what she told him. How do you not like a man who is emotionally vulnerable and engages in acts of service? And he’s a silver fox!
