![]() Mila’s love for giving and seeing the best in people made me love her character even more. I enjoyed how she grew throughout the book, although she was sweet and was very soft, she challenged the Ronan continuously by standing up for herself. I loved Mila from the beginning, she was so naïve and I felt her every emotion, and at times I cried with her. They may seem vulnerable at first but they stand their ground. I have to say hands down Danielle Lori is becoming one of my favourite authors, I love how she portrays her characters, especially the heroines.

But then as I'm also consistently nice the whole time, you might find that annoying too. I rather think you might find that quite annoying after a while. Where was I? Oh yes, affecting to be a great deal stupider than I am. Oh silly me!
