Awesome series!
I received this novella in exchange for an honest review. This is the fourth in the series, and each book just seems to get better and better. I love the relationship that Tanner and Natalie are building, and I have enjoyed watching them grow both publicly and privately. Natalie and Tanner, start out by going back to where it all began...the concert hall where he left her all those years ago. No heartbreak this time though. There are glimpses of Natalie's family, as well as business dealings that must be made. With so many outside distractions, Natalie can still give her all to Tanner.

Awesome Series - Great Last Book
This was a great, hot, sexy, passionate series and last book. This book was great and the characters of Natalie and Tanner are terrific. The only comment I have is that while it is a happy ending, it almost seemed rushed and not quite as well written but it doesn't take away from my rating! Definitely don't deprive yourself of reading this series.

So far so good!
I have been reading this series and I love each part of this story. characters are great...I love finding out about Tanner's past and him learning about himself. Natalie is such a strong personality and I love that she is so independent. her family and friends are a good part of who she is and between them and Tanned she has figured out so much about herself....can't wait for the next book. the only thing I will say is I wish the series was sold in a one price full series instead of $2.99 for each.

Inner Peace
The 4th book in this installment is where Tanner finally learns the rest of his history to date. He finds out the William Clarke is his real father instead of Ken Cassel. It helps Tanner to let go of his insecurities about having violent tendencies. Natalie is still unsure of her relationship with Tanner. She walks in on a meeting between Tanner and his ex-sub Aimee and jumps to the wrong conclusion and runs. Luckily, Tanner reaches her before she leaves and explains it all. I love how these books keep building off each other. I cannot wait to read the 5th book.

Got Sex?
I really like this series. I was a bit disappointed in this fourth book. I love Natalie and Tanner, but There were a lot of sex. I mean the sex they were having took up most of every chapter. Over all I enjoyed the book but wished there was more to the story.
