Night Owl Reviews
Tawny has been a background story in this series for a while. She's been noted as bringing home bad boys to annoy her father and is an all around wild child. Her parents are at their wits end (irony much?) and Tawny shows no signs of slowing down. But all this activity is just a cover as she really just wants one bad boy. Dakota is that bad boy and he has feelings for Tawny too. How do they get from growing up together to growing old together? I have the utmost sympathy for Tawny and her father, Dallas. Equally. I see both sides of that equation and there is really no way to handle it properly. Tawny wants what she wants and she sees no problem, as her father is/was the same as Dakota. Dallas knows the danger and wants his baby far, far away. Who wins? Well, it is Tawny's life to live and I'm glad the author showed how a good parent handles an outcome they don't really want for their offspring. Dakota is in a unique situation as he has to deal with the brother-in-arms and the father-figure combined within Dallas. Yikes! While the romance all seems sudden to others, the author shares that Tawny and Dakota have been eyeballing each other for years and maturity has ripened them both that it's time to act or live with regret. I missed the additional drama the earlier books in the series had, in one form or another, be it a crisis of personal or MC origin. A must read if you follow the series.
