Divina Langley-Kemp is fed up with the pompous, overbearing men in her life. From her father to her ex-husband, she's beyond over their arrogance and high-handedness. All she wants is peace and quiet to live her life on her own terms. Instead, she gets Grant Easton, a drop-dead gorgeous blast from the past who's more trouble than her ex-husband and father combined.

Grant Easton finally has the Langley family in the palm of his hand. His long-awaited revenge of crushing them financially and ruining their prestigious reputation will soon come to fruition. Can anything stop the unscrupulous mogul from exacting his revenge?

Love it

So happy to catch up with the Kismet Cove characters and to see happy conclusions to heartbreaking and nasty situations. Nice as well to have an appearance from 2 of the Whiskey Row characters! Kudos to Mari and Leon for lending their narrative skills to help bring this story to life by audio. D A Young is an excellent story teller who writes 3 dimensional characters with heart and grit.

Grant and Divina

The beginning of this story had 100 % of my attention, but it kind of lost me in the end. They were young and forced to make adult decisions which affected their choices. Divination took the brunt of the blame, but I can’t say she was to blame. She made a decision that was made to protect Grant. It felt like sides were taken between the friends and although they accepted her back in the fold they felt she hurt him before she’ll do it again

Very Good

The audiobook was just as good as the actual book. The narrators did a good job portraying Grant and Davina.

Lovely as always

Her books are always filled with passion, mystery, tragedy, and the best endings. Thank you

overall good story BUT....

when it jumped to present time it felt like all twists and turns where smushed together. never did get all the answers...ending left me a little out of sorts

And the Winner is...

The winners in this case are the listener and reader. I am both! I purchased the book the day it dropped. I finally tried Audible a few months ago and began the Whiskey Row Series to this one. I loved the performers/narration. I fell in love with this Grant and Davina all over again.
I'm really hoping we get to here about India, Lincoln, Charlie and Mike and the rest of the crew. Ms. Young is excellent at her craft!

Great Addition

These characters are fairly new to me but, still very enjoyable. Not realizing that this was two books presented as one kept me wondering about the first book. So much time was spent on this young and budding romance and I could not determine why. In the end, the first book set up the second book perfectly. There may not be another Kismet Cove and Baxter Park joint presentation but I am sure the characters will appear in continuing stories. Enjoy the read.

Insta love that last

It may have started as insta love but these two lovers find their road to happily ever after to be long and bumpy. The story is filled with messy relatives, tragedy but love and good friends through it all.
Transitions to refer to other characters storylines were sometimes abrupt and confusing. For that reason I gave it a 4. I felt it was somewhat mislabeled as a stand-alone because it probably would help to have more backstory on other characters. Good story though.

AWESOME

Great story, great transitions. I love how she brings the other 3 series into this one. I love how she continues to tell this huge story through the various series. Very smart and intelligent writer.

Great Book!

I read this book when it was released. The audio brought the characters to life! The narration was excellent! Can't wait to listen to the other books in this series!
