Romance maestro Lori Foster brings a most gratifying conclusion to her popular Buckhorn Brothers' series where Sawyer's son, Casey Hudson reunites with the reputed bad girl Emma Clark after a 8-year separation and finds himself in love with the stronger, resilient woman who had outgrown her adolescence and shame.

Readers will immediately identify with the awkward teenage Emma who escapes from her dysfunctional family and runs into the embrace of the reliable Casey, lying to her father that she is pregnant. She is ashamed but helpless especially when Casey's family offers her comforting solace. Harboring a crush for Casey but knowing that his bright future excludes her, she escapes alone to Chicago and finds herself a new life with the help of the affectionate Damon as a massage therapist. Her return to see her ill father 8 years later becomes a reunion and a revival of love between Casey and her.

Lori Foster glosses the Cinderella romance with a dose of emotions and gumption in the determined Emma and pumps warmth and kinship into the arteries of the Kentucky town with the gathering of Sawyer, Morgan, Gabe and Jordan and a glimpse of their bliss. Even the unlikely Ceily has found herself a love interest. Ms. Foster's sensual style as usual is a pleasure to watch and Casey is a delicious hero with the protective streak. What more can we ask for given the first-rate romance and sanctuary of family bliss except indulge in more?

A wonderful coming of age story that captures the reader from the start. Lori weaves another tale with interesting characters that the reader not only cares about, but identifies with as well.

I really thought this was a great ending to this series. My only complaint is that Casey's cousins were referred to, several times, as his nieces and nephews. Then other times they were correctly referred to as his cousins. This, however, did not affect the story and chemistry between Emma and Casey. I loved Emma, she was such a wounded teen who turned out very well.

I enjoy this genre books best because the characters are a lot more fun than in most other genres. I am a fan of Loris Foster so naturally I think anything she writes will be good, so, all I can advise other possible readers of this book is, that if you have not had a chance to read any of Ms. Fosters great stories, this book would be the perfect book to start with!

i enjoy most of lori foster novels. if you like this genre you should check her out. lori is tops, i think you will agree.

This is not Lori Foster at her best! I started reading Lori Foster recently, and fell in love with her wit and romance instantly; but this just did not live up to her standards. If you feel that you MUST buy the book because it is Lori Foster, buy it used; it is NOT worth the full price.

This super romance novel takes the captivated reader on a roller-coaster of a ride. Up, down, and all around. The past, present, and future smack into each other as the eight years (since) continues. I love this series!

If you haven't read this book yet, you don't know what you're missing! Buy the book and read it today, you'll be happy you did!

I was extremely disappointed by Casey's story. After falling in love (and lust) with the other men of the Buckhorn series, I was hoping for a really great conclusion to the series. Unfortunately, Casey's story did not live up to my expectations. I found the plot very contrived and the love scenes were quite static compared to Lori Foster's other novels. I probably would have enjoyed the reading a lot more if 'Casey' had followed the format of the other four from the series. In short, the book was way too long for such a poorly fleshed out story. Sorry.

The Best One Yet
If I could give this book more then 5 stars I would. Casey is the long awaited followup to the Buckhorn Series. Casey is the son of Sawyer. He most definetly is a chip off the old block. This books takes you back to the ending of Jordan book when Emma Clark appears at the Hudson family home. You find out what happens to Emma that night and then the story picks up 8 years later when Emma comes back home to Buckhorn. Emma fights it tooth and nail her attractions to Casey. But when she finally gives in to her desires it is amazing. This book will make you laugh, cry and swoon. It is a wonderful read and a fantastic ending to the series.
