Warning: in their heads they will also call each other 'my sheriff' or 'my mate'. Often Kasey is referred to as the big Cheyenne or the tall Cheyenne while Seth is described as small to the point that I feel as though Seth is two feet tall and Kasey is a hulking giant when he's supposed to be slender and slightly built, just a bit taller than Seth.

The pet names and the descriptions are out of hand, as well. ![]() The author does well in keeping us in suspense, not telling us exactly what emotional trauma that Seth has endured until it is time, and she doesn't rush too quickly into the romance which is a plus if you're looking for something other than mindless, heated sex in the first few chapters. ![]() The book is good in that it has a solid plot and a sexy, alluring romance between two people who share a very strong emotional bond. ![]() ![]() ![]() On page 24 she takes the orange to eat after fearing that she may be going deaf.
