Free Hand

3.25 stars. Introduces a lot of characters since it's the first one in the series, and as a result the romance suffers. In fact, the two MCs don't even interact after their first dramatic meeting until a third of the way through the novel, and they both (unsuccessfully) date other people before they admit how much they like each other. If you like found families and don't mind the romance frequently taking a backseat to the characters' various challenges you might appreciate this more than I did. I like Lindsey's writing though, and will try at least a few more installments in the series.
