Shy and unattractive as a child, Megan McClare has always been teased by her classmates. But when she returns home from her senior year in Paris, the wallflower has suddenly blossomed into a beauty. With ambitions to become a lawyer or doctor, Megan accepts an internship at the district attorney’s office only to discover that she will be working with Devin Caldwell, a boy who mercilessly mocked her at school–and with whom she was hopelessly enamored. She turns to her dear friend Bram Hughes for support and advice. But Bram’s vision is clouded by his sudden unwelcome attraction to a girl he had always thought of as a kid sister. He advises forgiveness, but can he forgive himself for pushing the woman he loves into the arms of another man?<\/p>\n

\n==========================
\nWhen I first picked up this book, my first thought was, “Wow, this one is thick.”  It’d been a while since any book that I’d read had come close to 408 pages. Turns out that the amount of pages didn’t seem to matter since it kept me up until nearly 4am reading it. I really ought to know better than to start books close to bedtime. If I had one complaint about this book, there was a bit more “I have to pray about this. You should pray about this.” than I enjoy. Other than that, I enjoyed the characters and the story and to be honest, I’m a bit sad that this series is done.<\/p>\n
