Aideen and Kane are a perfect match. They are stubborn and devoted to those they care about. However, as a few twists are thrown their way, you can witness their "hostility" for each other turn into something more loving. Kane is scarred and dangerous to look at, but he is lovely when he smiles. He has been through a lot in his life. Only his brothers, their girlfriends, and Aideen see Kane for who he truly is. I love how much he adores Aideen, and he also seems to be enchanted by her. Aideen is blunt, fierce, and humorous. What I admired best about her was her protectiveness of Kane. She goes out of her way to show Kane that he isn't the monster he sees in the mirror after she discovers the truth about his past. He's a beautiful man who deserves to be loved, and she'll be the one to show him. But Kane's history, which he has worked so hard to ignore, emerges and seeks to destroy everything that brings him joy.

Every time I pick up one of L.A. Casey's books, I'm sucked into the lives of the Slater brothers, and I never want to leave.
