It's been a few years since I read this series by Nora Roberts. It was always one of my favorites of hers, and I am so happy to dive back into this story with these characters.

I love the friendships in this series. Not only the friendship among the women and the men separately, but the way they come together as a whole. It's definitely got that found-family aspect that I am a total sucker for.

Malory is probably the protagonist I relate to the least, and in the past I only gave this book a 4/5 primarily for that reason. But during this reread I appreciated her more than I did before. I loved her relationship with Flynn. Their banter and flirtation had me grinning like an idiot.

I read a really terrible romance the other day where the male protagonist was a cocky, arrogant, vile human who we were supposed to like for...reasons? In my review I begged for a male protagonist who wasn't a huge pile of crap, because misogyny isn't sexy, mmkay?

I forgot what a sweet guy Flynn is. And that sweetness doesn't make him weak. He's a strong man with strong character. He is an alpha who doesn't feel threatened by a strong, ambitious, determined woman. MORE PLEASE!

And Moe is the best. That is all.
