I have been a fan of this author since I first discovered her. She creates interconnected standalones better than just about anyone in MC romance. Finishing the last series was bittersweet because they had all become like family. This series is turning out the same way. I find myself wanting all the side characters to get their own story.

This is still a grittier series than the other series and I find that I'm liking that. Great details in the scenes and characteristics that allow me to play the book like a movie in my head. Highly recommend Deacon and Reece's story. I hope Reilly gets a story too. ( )
