So this story was one we’d been waiting for a while for. Finally finding out exactly what had happened to send Brodan away from his close-knit family. There was a LOT of emotional parts to this story. Monroe was someone it was hard not to root for. We didn’t get all the details of what she’d been dealing with since Brodan had left her life right away, but what we knew definitely had me feeling for her the whole book.

I had a little bit of issue with Brodan. He was just so mean at first. Some of the things he said and did would have been really hard for me to get over ever, if I was Monroe. So I have to say that unlike in other books when I think someone is holding out for no reason, I totally understood why she was. But he did do exactly what he could to try to win her back and prove that he could and would be better and be the man she deserved. Although I did think her jealousy after a certain point was a little bit extra, but that’s just me.

I loved seeing Thane’s kids in school with Monroe and their roles in this story was just perfect. They made it so much more. And in the end, we got an extra epilogue for pretty much all the other couples in this series, and that was lovely. It was also fun getting a sneak peek and getting to know Sloane and Walker who will be the first couple in the new series that branches off from this one.
