The mother sounds incredibly dislikeable, I always hate when they portray parents to be so un-parentally as it seems to be a good way to create angst and unresolved issues for characters. However, I do like the sound of the romance and the will-they-won't-they aspect of them making up. Glad you enjoyed it so much.

I'll have to go back and look at the first one to see what it's about.

Not sure how well I'd fare with the mother--she sounds like a piece of work!--but thanks for putting this on my radar, Rachel! It's the first time I've heard of it but it's going on my TBR for sure! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-24801686197446367562014-09-03T01:39:44.416+01:002014-09-03T01:39:44.416+01:00Just reading the names of Fallon and Madoc, I woul...Just reading the names of Fallon and Madoc, I wouldn't be able to tell who was the girl and who was the guy.

(Seeing as I didn't fancy the characters, but I'm willing to jump on board with this story!!!) I'd hate the mother too. UGH. So it's a slow burn, yeah? :) I'm so glad you enjoyed this no matter that the mom was a complete bitch. And I hope you love the following companion even more ;)Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-60141726710785911822014-09-02T18:52:19.755+01:002014-09-02T18:52:19.755+01:00Sounds like a great book!

Fallon and Madoc were so intense and yes, I love that they had the big confrontations rather than freeze each other out. Great review, Rachel!
