Ratings and reviews

Oh, how I loved Zeke!!! In this particular series, so far he's by far my favorite. Zeke and Laudy knew each other in another time in their lives. When life was easier, and you could run through the swampland and embrace love. That ended quickly when their lives were twisted and blown up. Zeke believes in his heart that Laudy is out there somewhere. He's been determined for years to find her. He has even enlisted his brother to help search. The same brother who makes a decision on is behalf that makes him want to scream, cheer and scream some more. With his choices taken away from him, he is faced with the past truths. It's not something he ever thought he'd get let alone, wanted. Laudy knew that poofing out of her life and into another one was never going to be easy. She had changed her life in order to escape past trauma. She didn't have a choice but to leave behind her one true love, not that he ever knew she felt that way. They were soul mates and that ended the day her family was ripped from her and she went on the run. A mystery unravels and she ends up back where it started. Oh my goodness, gravy and biscuits this was one quick, steamy read! Esther writes each tale of the siblings to grab your attention, fan yourself, curse, laugh, sometimes cry and just believe in true love. She never fails in making her readers fall in love with her characters and her writing. Another fabulous read!

Esther is my new favorite Author. Love her MC's.
