We've all had our secrets, that's what appealed to me about this book. Olivia has secrets, so does Max. Nothing big, scary, arrestable offence secrets, but secrets that stop them from being there for each other to begin with. It takes the 3 books for them to overcome these, and fight for each other.

Max has always wanted to do something, ever since a child, and thanks to Olivia, he may, MAY, get to see it through. He drops is sleeping around, the minute he meets Olivia, as he knows she's special, and takes on her family and friends, and helps them out too. Helps, not hands it on a plate.

Olivia has moved in with a friend of her sisters, and is supposed to be keeping an eye on her, you'll have to read it to find out if she is or not. Their jobs mean they rarely see each other, and then Max does on the scene.

Kate has written a fabulous story here, and spread it across 3 short(ish) books. I managed to read the last one in one evening.  Surprisingly I found each book was better than the last, which isn't the way it usually works, is it? So on that concept , I'm going to have to score it high (ish) aren't I?
