After breaking up with his boyfriend, Ethan moves back to Atlanta to start a new phase of his life. Through Wilder (book 1), he gets a part time job working as Anders assistant. These two have clashed in the past and love to antagonize the other, but working close together they begin to see that all of this tension might not just be hate. 

Anders is very closed off but of course Ethan was able to wiggle his way past all his walls. Even with different upbringing and lifestyles, they both were romantics who found a perfect partner in each other. It took a bit to move past the scars of their past relationships, but they were there for each other when it mattered the most with unconditional support. When they were finally able to relax and be themselves, they had amazing banter that led to steamy chemistry. 

The relationship development from dislike to mutual love and respect was done so well and was my favorite part of the book. I'm not saying this book is like Pride & Prejudice, but it could've been an alternative title with how much pride and prejudice played a role in their early relationship. They both had these preconceived notions of the other, and once they were able to move past those ideas they could see how well they fit together. 

I've said many times that my favorite part of reading a series is watching previous characters live out their happily ever afters. Wilder and Jax, being close friends to Ethan and Anders, played a big supporting role. They made me smile every time and I'm still so happy for them. After book 1 I wanted these two, especially Ethan, to find that perfect love and this was such a satisfying ending for them.
