A wonderful installment in this amazing series! It started out kinda slow but boy does it pick up. Now, be warned: this is not exactly heavy on the romance part. In fact, jeb and Chloe are at odds for about 80% of the book lol. But where that part is lacking, it more than makes up for in the family drama department. It was weird because I did end up seeing this more as the set up for holts book rather than jebs story, but I loved it anyway. So much happens that was just soo interesting and it really kept the story moving.

Lizzie coming into holts life was awesome. I love that he has a kid already and she was just too cute. Her little “ride him!” cheers for jeb had me laughing. The way holt started to have feelings for Chloe was well done as well because it was just enough and not over done at all. In fact, it’s a very natural reaction to the situation they found themselves in. So I couldn’t blame him for starting to like her. And I HATE when people bitch about triangles. If done right, it works. It moves the story along and makes people realize their feelings. Love it.

I can’t wait for holts story next. It definitely bugged me that he still gives angus grief over their past but hopefully that’s done now. I mean, what would you have done holt?? Ugh.

I guess I should mention who the book’s technically about lol. Jebs issue with Chloe got old after he wouldn’t shut up about it. But nonetheless, they were a good couple- when they weren’t arguing. I wish there was a bit more emphasis on the romance only because so much happened before we knew of her and so it would have been nice to get some sweet moments with them, but all in all, the book kicked ass!
