*mind blown*

This series gets better with every book. I loved this book so much that I’d happily cuddle with it in bed.

We finally get a romance for the de facto matriarch of the Walsh clan! Shannon was always sassy, so I was curious to meet the man who could win her heart. I have to say, she met her match with Will. These two together were explosive. The heat flew off the page and into my ears as they sparred verbally and, uh, physically. Lots of angst. Lots of heat. Lots of heart.

This one was a little different from the previous Walsh books, in that, it jumps back in time, and we have that overlap with stories we already read. I thought that was kind of cool, because we are now getting the full picture.

Will, Will, Will. He really won my heart. He was a total alpha, but he was tender when necessary, and when he was ready, he was in 100%.

My heart was filled to the brim with happiness for Shannon. It was her time; it was her turn, and it was beautiful.

I wasn't sure I would like The Cornerstone. It seemed like it might be a bit too hot for me. It is very steamy, but I didn't find it over the top. At first, I didn't really like Shannon either. I have a hard time connecting to heroines who are ball busters all the time. But, again, I was surprised to find that I didn't dislike her at all. I haven't read the other books in the series and it didn't affect my enjoyment of this book. What can I say about Commando? He was such a great hero. He is demanding, pushy, and a bit crass. I loved it. Even when he was being pushy and crass you could feel the love for Shannon. That is not an easy task for a writer to pull off successfully. Often times when the hero is such a bad ass alpha, the relationship can feel very superficial. I can honestly say, I didn't feel that way about these two at all. Honestly, this book just totally surprised me-I was not sure what to expect and I was a bit hesitant but Kate Canterbary had made me a believer! I certainly plan to grab the other books in the series (except maybe not Sam and Tiel...not sure I care about those two...) Honestly, I would enjoy reading more about Will and Shannon. I don't know that I would ever get tired of them!
