I am so so happy that Little Dove did not end up being a standalone. I really enjoyed getting glimpses of Juliet and Maximo. 

I felt for Mila. My upbringing was not at all the same (fortunately) but I do suffer from hyper independence at times. Ash seemed a bit gruffer than I remember Maximo being, but it has been some time since I read Little Dove so maybe I'm not remembering everything. Mila's character development was wonderfully written and I really enjoyed watching her gain the strength she needed to come out of her shell and just be. Ash was a possessive alpha-hole we all love (or maybe you don't, in which case, this book is not for you). The dirty talk in this book was fantastic. 

This was a great story and I can't wait to read Little Goddess.
