This was a VERY enjoyable read...in one day. This was totally my kind of book! In short, Mitch & Livie are college sweethearts. Mitch ends up breaking it off and crushing her heart. It's six years later and, they are reunited at their best friends' wedding. The old feelings come rushing back...the rest is history as they say. Most of the book is about them rekindling their romance with a secret in the mix. Nice romantic/sexy parts too.

I can't remember a time I detested a heroine so much I rated the book purely on that. She went from being a somewhat sympathetic figure to utter....urgh, I haven't the words. She completely spoilt the reading experience for me. Yes the hero was a douche in the past, nothing new there, but
Misunderstandings are all well and good but an attempt to clear things up need to be made and to condemn without trial, unforgivable. I know this is stock in trade for romance novel authors but this was outside of enough. The H needed to find some other woman who'd give two hoots for him.Rant Review over.

the selfishness in keeping her son a secret from his father was beyond excusable. Hurt and timing may have initially worked against her but to blackmail the H's parents to keep it from him and even when finally she meets him again, she doesn't tell him. She seemed to kid herself that it was all in her child's interest, but really it comes across as cowardice and self interest all the way. Icing on the cake was her using her ex as a get out clause, poor guy. Again it was all about her, all the while she 'loves' him. With love like that the H was better off with a hole in the head. When the H makes a grand gesture to force an HEA, there's no acknowledgment of her actions.Misunderstandings are all well and good but an attempt to clear things up need to be made and to condemn without trial, unforgivable.

This is book one in the Texas Montgomery Mavericks series and it features Olivia Montgomery Gentry and Mitch Landry. What a great story! It just seems that fate was always working against these two in one way or another. That and not enough faith in each other. I could understand her reasons for not telling him but it doesn't make it right. With what he did to her, I'm not sure I wouldn't have made the same choices she did. This author's description of Mitch was spot on! Every time he spoke I could feel the cowboy charm. Every time Olivia looked at him and she lost her train of thought because he was so sexy, was fabulous!
These were well developed characters and the story line was smooth all the way through. I'm excited for book 2.
