I've got the Silas virus. 
 When I saw this book was going to be about Silas Moore, I wasn't quite sure how that was going to work out, considering he was a fairly unlikable character for a good part of the first book in this series. 
 Silas has anger issues. It builds inside him until he explodes on someone and everything comes roaring to a head very quickly in All Broke Down. Not only is he forced into dealing with an unwelcome family member in front of his friends and teammates, he ends up getting thrown in jail for fighting Levi in a dive bar. Yeah, he's not having a good day. 
 Neither is Dylan. She's in jail with her friend Matt after a student activism event gone bad. Silas and Dylan strike up some conversation while they wait for someone to bail them out, and it sparks enough chemistry between them that Silas ends up using his own money to get Dylan and her friend out of jail. I loved Matt's reaction when he realizes that he's just been sprung by the quarterback and running back of the Rusk University football team. 
 Silas takes Dylan back to his house, and he doesn't waste much time using his considerable talents with women on Dylan. Her first exposure to the Silas virus is smoking hot and super sexy as he attempts to treat Dylan like the other hookups he's had. But Silas realizes quickly that it's different with Dylan. After a difficult weekend that ends with a one week, two game suspension from the team, he turns to Dylan to help "fix him". 
 The "falling in love" part isn't rushed in All Broke Down, at least I didn't think so. He spends his week suspension with Dylan, helping her with her various causes and falling for her hard. I love how he talks about her effect on him, his amazement over what he feels for her. It comes through so clearly in his POV when they have sex for the first time, and by this time the Silas virus was firmly entrenched in my heart. 
 When Dylan makes a serious mistake that threatens their relationship, it was one of those "no-no-no" moments for me. To get him back, she has to stand up for herself and take some chances. There's tons of emotions here which I loved, and my heart was hurting for them both. It's a good thing that the Silas virus isn't easy to shake. 
 There's a lot more to All Broke Down than just Dylan and Silas's love story. It takes on some social issues such as student activism and sexual assault. I'm hoping that part of the story will be continued in future offerings in this series. 
 I love the Rusk University world for its realism, and this just might be my favorite book so far! There's humor, drama and great writing that makes you feel right along with the characters. All Broke Down will be one of those "go-to" books for me when I need a comfort read. Silas definitely has a place on my book boyfriend list!
