The book was awesome!! I have come to expect nothing less from K. Micheals and would highly recommend any book she contributes to this series.

This is the first in The Colton Family series. I got "hooked" with the story of Sophie & River and the underlying story of Senator Joe Colton, Meredith & Patsy very quickly and couldn't wait to read the whole series. Each book stands alone with the story of it's main characters, but the reader is always left wanting more about the Joe & Meredith (as well as the other Coltons) So far I have read the first five books in the series. This book is still among my favorites.

Sophie Colton was an innocent victim of a drug addict. Sophie storms out of a restaurant after arguing with her fiancee. On the way home a man attacks her, tries to rape her, bruises and bites her body, slams her head into a wall, and cuts her face badly. Sophie's dad and foster brother rush to the hospital to be by her side.River James has always isolated himself from others. He is deeply afraid of being rejected and hurt. His foster sister Sophie, however, worms her way into his heart. As a young girl she pesters him as a sister would, but as a young woman she loves him as a woman would love a man. River loves Sophie, but felt she needed to go to college and experience life. He never thought that she would get engaged to someone else. The accident changes everything. Sophie breaks it off with her fiancee and comes back home. She has a tough recovery ahead of her and River plans on sticking by her side.A lot was going on in this book. There was a general introduction of the entire Colton clan. The reader is also introduced to the 'good' and 'bad' Meredith (Sophie's mother). This is a story that they carry out through all of the Colton books. Explaining it without giving something away is hard so you will just have to read the book to figure this one out. Although there are many small stories in this book the main one is that of River and Sophie. I must admit that I felt sorry for all that Sophie has been through, but I still felt irritated with her character. She was constantly running from her feelings for River. River is a very patient man to put up with all the ... that she dishes out. It is a good story in that it has me interested in reading the rest of the books in the series to find out what is going to happen next. Although a bit disappointing, River and Sophie are still interesting characters. It will be interesting to see if they pop up in future books.
