I never write reviews. I love to read reviews but never take the time to write them. I just HAD to write one for this book. I read alot of these books and I have to say this one is one of my favorites ever! This is a beautiful love story. I fell in love with how sweet and tender Reece was to Alana. Even before the accident he was starting to feel strong emotions toward her. I absolutely love how romantic the story was and how understanding and cute he was throughout the entire ordeal. I also loved how receptive she was to him. Just two great characters that seem like really good people.
I realize these fantasy love stories aren't always totally realistic, understandably. That's why we all love them so much. But I cannot stand it when an author continues to make the characters, usually the alpha males, so mean and cruel to begin with. It's sometimes so painful to read the initial mistreatment. This story was NOT that way!! Miranda Lee kept the story flowing beautifully and continued to resolve conflicts and answer questions in my mind throughout the story as they came up; where some authors drag out the painful truths until the last moments of the story to where its agony!!
Maybe I'm just a sucker for the sickeningly sweet!! Nevertheless, A very romantic and lovely story!

This is the second in a trilogy by Miranda Lee and now I have to go back and read the first before I read the third.
I liked this couple from the beginning: as best man Reece stands with his friend, Richard the bridegroom, and lusts after one of the bridesmaids as she comes down the aisle. Oh yeah, that's HIS woman, whom he's already married! Very strong chemistry between these two and the scene in the garage was sizzling.
Alanna's "dark past" that the synopsis refers to makes it sound more mysterious than it is. It was a horrible first marriage where Darko, aptly named, abused Alanna, causing her to mistrust men. It's a wonder she considered marriage a second time. The only reason she did was because she went through a matchmaker and stipulated from the get-go that she did NOT want to marry for love. She hoped by keeping things simple: lust and mutual respect, that she could avoid the emotional devastation she suffered the first go'round.
The tenderness and sensitivity Reece displays for Alanna once he finds out about her past is quite something, even as he struggles to contain his sexual feelings so as not to frighten her away. His promises to God are sweet and it's cute how he calls up Mike to ask him if he can send Mike a check for him to apply to some kids' charities since Mike knows what the needs are.
This book obviously revisits the first book in the trilogy "Bought: One Bride" and it hints of a future relationship between Mike, Reece and Richard's friend; and Natalie, the owner of the matchmaking service that hooked up R&R (Richard and Reece :). It would be best to read this one before proceeding to book three since this one gives some insight to both those characters.
I just really enjoy Miranda Lee's writing so much and her books are keepers.
