Callie Colter is the youngest in the family and perhaps the most loved.  She is a free spirit and yearns for the time she will have saved enough money to begin her dream home in the meadow in which she was born.  In Europe working jobs to save money, she meets the man of her dreams – Max Wilder.  He is the sexual dominant to Callie’s submissive and the desire each feels for the other makes sparks fly.  And then Max disappears from Callie’s life.  He promised to return to her but as months go by, Callie realizes that the trust she placed in Max was abused. So she returns home to her family and her meadow – heartbroken and sad, but no less determined to someday have her dreams.  Only this time the dreams don’t include the man she loves.

Max Wilder has finally found Callie Colter once again.  While he had an agenda in Europe, he no longer is torn between his promise to his mother and Callie’s happiness.  She is everything to him and he will do anything to keep his original purpose for meeting Callie a secret, but she finds out anyway.  And she runs.  Determined to give Callie her dream, Max must ask her family, the same family who blames him for Callie’s unhappiness, for help.  Because when Callie Colter decides to return, Max intends to be waiting – and he will wait forever for the woman he loves.

JOYFULLY RECOMMENDED JOYFULLY RECOMMENDED JOYFULLY RECOMMENDED! I can’t begin to express the complete contentment I feel after reading Colters’ Daughter.  I knew Callie was special – I knew she was strong and independent.  I never imagined her yearning for a man like Max Wilder.  The more I read, the more I realized that Callie and Max were a perfect fit – like yin and yang.  As a couple, the intensity of their love was fiery and passionate.  Max’s dominant ways and Callie’s innate submission to him made me shiver with wide-eyed pleasure.

Once more Maya Banks and her talent shine! I laughed, cried and might, MIGHT, have been a bit ticked at Max.  But when a dominant man shows his woman just how much he loves her, as Max did, I turn to complete goo.  Max did and so I melted.  A beautiful story for striking characters. I dare you to read it just once!
