Well throughout the books we've read this semester, all have a recurring theme, which is Abuse. Mama Elana to Tita, Linda to Mac, Min's mother towards Min and Diana, Cal's parents towards Cal, Cal's brother towards his Son. In some way shape or form, there is Abuse in almost every book. Just an interesting realization I've noticed.
Mac's mother has an exceedingly large impact upon how Mac view's love, which creates a Commitment problem, which also makes her worry that all guys are the same, and that she's just going to be left. Her father barely acknowledges her, because her parents divorced and he left. Her mom just burdens her with all her love problems, and comes running to her for money and comfort, which leads to Linda taking advantage of her, putting Mac under extreme stress.
Luckily, Carter changes that for Mac. She was uncertain, but Carter really stuck with her. He really loved her! Which is something she deserves, since it helps her get over that problem...plus, everyone deserves true love!
I liked this book a lot, it wasn't my favorite. I think Nora Roberts could have expanded Mac's story into another novel or two...and probably do that for all the other books that are in this series. But it's really not a bad novel. I liked it and I will probably read more of her work.
