I'm sorry to say there wasn't much to this story. I found myself at the end, still questioning Nathan's motivations in buying the McBride Media empire. Yes, he's a corporate rader. But that still doesn't explain the motivation when the author makes it seem like there's something behind it. When even his best friend and number two at his company asks him why he's bothering with it.

At the beginning there seemed to be some sort of revenge in play. But when you discover he's never met the McBrides, not any member of the family, then you realize, no revenge happening.

There are two instances where you think Nathan may change his mind. First when Kiera tells him about her father and how he went from being a family man with a good head for business to almost destroying the entire empire and having affiars. You think he could understand the drive by the sisters to rebuild their lives and business to reflect not only what was past but what they could do as well. Also when Nathan tells Kiera about how his mother loved the magazine that put the media empire back in profits and how she would pour over it, you think that this good memory may change his mind. Then his father comes in and pushes his buttons, buttons I'm still unclear of, he changes goes at it full blown. It seems like his father wants him to take over McBride Media, but again... I don't know why.

Nathan's brother Booth comes into the mix, having some sort of relationship with Camryn, but again, never quite sure what the relationship is. Especially when Booth seems to want the women to keep their business. It's just all kind of muddled for me.

I believe their love and Nathan's subsequent marriage proposal happened a little quickly, but I get it under the contraints of the limited pages of the book. I just thought it was fast. Maybe if they had known or met each other in the past. He didn't realize she was of the same McBrides. I don't know, just something that gave them more than a weekend in Vegas and a day at the zoo before declaring love and marriage.

Just not enough there for me. I didn't hate it because it was short and quick, but I would't recommend it.
