Reviewer’s Thoughts:

The conclusion to WITH THIS KISS we find Colin turning all alpha male to prove to Grace that he does indeed love and desire her, not her sister Lily.  It takes a bit of convincing, but Colin is not going to let go of the woman he loves over a misunderstanding…on her part.  He’s going to do all he can to prove to her that he’s the man she’s meant to be with.

While the ending to this story wasn’t much of a surprise, it was still thoroughly enjoyable discovering just how far Colin was willing to go to prove to Grace that she was the one that he wanted.  He was sometimes rude and crude, very much a pirate’s son and not a staid Navel captain, but he get his point across to a very stubborn Grace.

Grace and Colin may have found themselves in a very similar situation to that of their parents, but they managed to get their acts together sooner rather than their parents later.
