"This is the most fun I've had reading a Julie Lessman book. I love all her books, but I was so in love with her O'Connor family saga that I was worried if she could create another family that was so engaging. But the McClare clan is wonderful and I loved all of them, especially that little touch of Texas in Cassie and the sparks flying between the widow Claire and the charming Uncle Logan. I can't wait to see what Julie does next!"
