Of all the Buchanan Brothers books, this one is my favorite. I will say that I don’t love everything about it, but even with the characters having flaws that I HATED, this one still worked the best for me.

I liked Justice, in most aspects. My only complaint is that she let Gabe treat her like shit for years. She was with him in high school and they lost their virginity to one another. Then he leaves for college. They never make their relationship official. Justice assumes Gabe is having sex with other girls, yet every time he shows up they continue their relationship. Which, okay, if you want casual, that’s fine. But because their relationship isn’t defined, Justice hurts over the fact that she loves Gabe and he’s sleeping around (even though he isn’t).

Gabe assumes Justice isn’t sleeping with anyone else. And she isn’t. So he’s just cool to come and go as he pleases, never committing officially to Justice. Then when she’s had enough, he freaks the fuck out.

Justice goes out with a friend and even makes a date with someone else. At this point, I wanted her to go on the date. I wanted Gabe to fight harder for her.

All the sex in this book was consensual, but there were some scenes that definitely got a bit close to the non-con line. Just something to be aware of. The sex is graphic and rough in this one.

I will say Gabe wasn’t as into Shane being the entire world as Aiden in the previous book was, and I appreciate that. And I loved the way Mason, Aiden and Michael took Justice’s side instead of Gabe’s. They all told him how wrong he was. I especially like how sweet Michael was with Justice.

While this book had its problems, all in all I really liked it. I’m honestly not sure why, it’s just one of those that despite everything, I enjoyed
