There are so many things I really loved about this story, and one thing that drove me so crazy that I subtracted a star from my rating.

When I read the first book in this series I had the sense the author was not American. There was just something about the some of the speech patterns and word usage that was a bit off. That's not really a big deal usually. It certainly wasn't in the first book. I never even really looked into if she was or not. Until I was halfway through this book and couldn't handle the word "row" any longer. I do not know anyone that uses the word row regularly, yet Sean used the word to describe his fight with his Grandfather and it was the only word used for the fight thereafter. It was used so much I even had to vent about it to my husband who could care less. I don't know if the author just lives in England or is actually from there, and it shouldn't matter. But if you are going to write about Americans living in America you have to get the language right or else it takes the reader out of the story.

Now that I'm done with that rant, I will say again that there were things about this story I really loved. Sean's care of his patients and Elise and his family were all very touching. And the way Sean and Elise would open up to each other without even meaning to was beautiful. So that odd language cadence and word usage shouldn't stop you from reading this book...just be forewarned.

Now I finally get to read about Tyler and Brenna! And hopefully they don't have a big row!
