I loved how they supported and defended each other from their families' pressure and expectations. This was a great addition to the rest of the series, and I look forward to the final book....more

I'm so glad this series is continuing, and I can't wait for the next one. ...more

I always find it amazing how this author ties in characters from her previous books in such a way that makes it look seamless. I can't wait for the other brother's books!...more

Favorite Quote that is truth! "This little corner of the Internet has turned my existence into an exciting life filled with friendships, not to mention a TBR list higher than the Empire State Building." I resemble this remark, "Frankly, rating one, two, or even three stars on a book that an author spent so much of their time and resources on feels cruel.” And swoonworthy, “You and I are far from being perfect, but together, we’d give perfect a fighting chance.”...more
