4.5 stars...This would have been a full 5 stars for me if the events near the end dealing with trust issues had not happened.
I lost respect for Cate when she immediately pushed Rachel away when the news report came out revealing her secret when she was growing up. There was no discussion, just an automatic blaming of Rachel. This took a lot of enjoyment out of the story for me. I know angst is something that is prevalent in romance novels and in some cases it is ok. I just did not like it in this book. The main characters were building a good relationship and in 1 moment, everything fell apart. Cate's ex was a piece of trash, yet she immediately took what he was saying as truth and threw away the relationship she was building. Later on, Cate was supposedly so heartbroken over what had happened. If she had taken a few minutes to talk to Rachel instead of putting up her protective wall, she would have realized what was happening. Instead, she chose to throw it away. If this section had not been in the book, it would have been a 5 star favorite of mine.
