This has by far been my favorite Browerton book. While I have enjoyed the series, I wasn’t exactly looking forward to this one because I *really* wasn’t a fan of Nathan’s in Rafe’s story. Yes, he’s the classic bad boy acting out because of his secret, tragic history, but I wasn’t sure he was redeemable. Wow, was I wrong. The personal growth A.J. Truman achieves with his character is exponential. He manages to make his character, his experiences and his emotions believable and, perhaps best of all, relatable.

While this is the second installment to take place away from Browerton’s campus proper, I didn’t mind the change of scenery. It’s nice to see how life goes on outside of the microcosm of a college campus, and the characters are tangential. I actually can’t imagine Nathan’s character being able to work through his issues and discover himself anywhere else.

Finding family

This is the first book of the series that I've read (yeah, I started at the last book). I'm going to have to read the rest of the series.
I really enjoyed the story. At first, I was not a fan of Nathan (he's so well written that I really thought he had very few redeeming quailities). But as his quest to find his birth mum landed him in NZ, on a farm where he had to fake his way into being a farm hand, I grew to love his smart tongue and how much he grew to be a better person. As for his 'host' family, they were nice, espcially Liam - he was another well written character. There's very little second-guessing once both MCs acknowledged their attraction to each other. The storyline is really good, funny, hot and heatwarming. I really enjoyed it!
