This is the second story by Renowned author Christi Phillips. The Devlin Diary is a story that can be read over and over. Its plot is the same but it still has a certain gem to it you can't resist. It is one of my favorite books by far and it only makes me want to share it with everyone who loves to read. Read this book and enjoy it. This book should be savored like fine wine.
