My heart ached for both Xander and Imani, you can't help but feel for both of them and understand what they are going through, Xander with his need to be in control and wanting to make thing right, then getting frustrated as he has acted before thinking and not thinking of others and Imani wanting to be her own person and make her own decision in life for once. There is plenty of emotions in this one to go through and at time you love and hate people at the same time. It is always great to see the guys and gals from Winston Isle as well as Blake Security. I think in a few months I will go back and read both books back to back :D
