I loved this second book in The Gents series.
The Gents are so fun and so admirable.

Kes "Grumpy Uncle" is a character I can relate to. He's seen as grumpy and standoffish, but he's really just introverted. He enjoys the company of others but still needs time by himself when things get overwhelming. 

Violet is a breath of fresh air for him. She has a secret that only her family knows but when she brings Kes into knowing it, he's so sweet and understanding about it. Since he's such an analytical mind, I'm so happy she confides in him. 

I love that they became friends so deeply first before falling in love but felt bad when one knows it so fast and the other is conflicted in what they feel.
