It is kinda hard to rate these, I wouldn’t say I love them I wouldn’t say I hate them. This second one is better than the first for sure, more plot and less drag. I enjoy reading their story and feel you will hate this if you’ve never been through trauma or a rougher upbringing. I do feel like it does still drag on slightly more than needed tho still but it was better than the first. This one did make me cry and bring out emotion so plus for that. It is a good one to talk about in book club setting and did enjoy and will continue reading the series but i wouldn’t give it a top read for me personally. I do enjoy the culture and learning of the time and country.

It was so great to see how much Shannon had grown since the last book. Some parts may be a little more depressing and hard to read but overall such a great book.

This was enjoyable and I'm so glad for Shannon and Johnny's HEA as well as HEA for all the Lynch kids. I can't believe this is book two, between Binding 13 and this one, there was so much to Shannon and Johnny's story but every part was enjoyable to read. The connections between all the characters were so realistic. This found family is super sweet.
