Neil is the prince who comes to love her in spite of, and maybe even because of, all that baggage - and how she rose above it all to become a strong, independent woman. ![]() Go Dude!!! And that scene in the limo! Worth all the "will they or won't they" torture that Sarina Bowen put us through!Ĭharli is a no-nonsense damsel with a lot of distressing relatives and baggage in her life.

I was interested to see how the incomparable Sarina Bowen would handle a "morning after the night before in Vegas" wake up scene. I'm heaving a huge, contented sigh as I write this review! What a charming, sizzling hot couple Charli and Neil made: she bristles with hostility and pushes everyone away, while Neil is just an adorable puppy who can't stop nipping at her shapely heels. ![]() ![]() Tags: Memoir, Native American (Confederated Salish Kootenai Tribes), women writers, family, adoption, #OwnVoices These lists are getting long I may have to start dividing them up!
