I like the Walsh series books. It’s comforting how they all find their HEAs after their awful childhood.
The only thing I’m not a fan of is that I feel that sometimes there is too much of an ellipse or blur around said childhood. I know it’s a choice of the author and not laziness or lack of depth but it feels like it to me while reading. It’s the same with the whole series and that’s why I like it but don’t love it.

She deserved better.

I really could've done without the appealingly inauthentic take on survivors of SA by primary care givers. This book would've been a lovely story about a woman with intimacy issues who is everybody's caretaker learning to be loved and taken care of. Instead, we get hurtful and unauthentic/highly glossed over snippets of Shannon trauma. The text both fetishizes her suffering and downplays it; it is disturbing and upsetting. This story wouldn't have suffered if it featured the same level shallow parental abuse explorations that the two books proceeding this story in the series did. The text instead decided to lean into shallow depictions of the horrific abuse without focus or sensitivity. I have read darker stories then this but i have never felt this appealed. If you can't be bothered to do deal with issues of SA of primary care giver and its effects on long term physical and mental health, then don't put it in your books.

Great story

I loved this story about Shannon. So much of her past resonated with me. Finding Will, a navy seal with his inherent strength and goodness was exactly what she needed. Sharing a past is life changing, you need to find the right one to help you grow and be stronger. Yes, great understanding here. Thank you Kate.

I discovered Kate Canterbary by accident, but after about Matt and Lauren I went on to download all the others. I then proceeded to have a book binge, I love finding a new author with a back list, Eventually I came to Shannon's story, and what a story it is. The depth of detail in Will and Shannon is just staggering. Listening to will's mental monologue about life of the battlefield. No earpiece with all the background noise, the weight of his body armor, the feel of a weapon strapped to his leg. It made him feel so real to me. Then the finer details about Shannon, to come to the awful understanding of just how much she sacrificed to keep her little sister safe was horrifying, yet at the same time shows that she has a resolve made of steel. Perhaps that is why she and Will are so well matched. I loved how their story and relationship grew through out the book, The texting scenes were hilarious and the epilogue was a delight, Froggie, I want to meet you. Will will finally have a "baby seal" to look after.
I would, and do, advise anyone who enjoys well crafted stories and characters to read this authors work. She is outstanding and now an automatic buy for me.

this is by far my favourite in the series i was so excited when i realised it was shannons turn. kate canterbary has out done her self with this one.
Such amazing characters both shannon and will are strong, confident, stuborn alphas who are constantly in the middle of a power struggle. they are absolutely perfect for each other. shannon needs will even if it takes her a while to realise it and its so nice to see someone taking care of her for a change even if she resists. Will is the kind of man every woman fantasizes about.
this is an emotional rollercoaster that leaves you hanging on right till the end, I dont think i have ever read a book quicker than i did this as i could not put it down.

I waited with baited breath for my pre order to arrive on my kindle at midnight. Had to force my self to put it down after an hour as I needed sleep. Read the rest the next day as I literally could not put it down. A fantastic continuation of the series. And some fab different perspectives of things we've already experienced. This book has some of the best lines I have ever read ever. And I can't look at limes the same way ever again!!!
As I've already said in the previous book review Kate has made it onto my author watch list. Shall be excitedly waiting once again for the next instalment and anything else Kate writes.
