I got a big ol shove to the shoulders to read this book ASAP and now I gotta go say they were right. :) 
 I loved this book! I'm thrilled when I find a book with my type of Hero and Jude was pretty darn perfect in my eyes. He's the strong silent type as well as dominant, bossy and protective. I loved that the author paired him with Gabby. She was very girly, but not in an annoying way and she had a tendency to ramble. The way Jude handled Gabby was entertaining and showed off his sweet side, as well. 
 I devoured this book because the story line was really good. It also had great side characters and the epilogue will melt your heart! I'm very happy to see there are more standalone books to the series.
