I didn't think I was going to like this book as much as I did! 
 In the first book we meet Rome Archer, Rule's reliable and good ol' boy brother. Unlike him, Rome was always dependable and honorable, making sure everyone in his family was happy and protected. When they lost Remy, they remained close yet Rome found himself even more protective of his remaining little brother. 
 I liked that Rome. He was sweet and kind, easy to like actually. 
 Then Shaw dropped the bomb (view spoiler)[of Remy being gay (hide spoiler)] and suddenly he wasn't the same. He felt betrayed that his brother never told him and it made him cold and mean, a character I wasn't too fond of. 
 I also didn't expect for him to fall for Cora, the mouthy girl essentially running the tattoo shop. Cora was broken, still messed up over the loss of the future she planned everything on and desperately wanted. She didn't get her stability and white picket fence and devoted husband. Being cheated on killed various parts of her heart. Wanting the perfect guy is a stupid idea since there is no such thing and Rome Archer was nowhere near perfect. 
 Their relationship kind of blossomed and I loved watching them fall in love. While she was bossy and bitchy, he was stubborn and eager to drown his sorrows stemming from PTSD and the loss of his brother. 
 Before they even got a chance to get to know each other, (view spoiler)[they get pregnant! (hide spoiler)] and that was not something I saw coming! It wasn't unwelcome, either. So far each relationship for a boy has gone in a different direction, like life, and it's made this series more interesting. 
 Another thumbs up! This series is like candy.
