This was a good follow-up to Malic and Dylan's story, and definitely story #6 in the Warder series. (Not 2.5 just because it's about Malic and Dylan.) It'll spoil some things in Nexus (book 5) if you haven't read it first. 
 There is a LOT of needy Dylan in this story. (Perhaps a bit too much, IMO.) And the first half is mostly build-up (and sex) before you get to more action (and sex) in the second half. So fair warning on all of that. 
 Even though it's about Malic visiting Dylan's family for the first time, we do get to see all of the warders at some point, much to their chagrin at being pulled away from their other halves right before Christmas. But of course no one stays mad for long since they all love each other as family. 
 The first half of the story is much more calm, as Malic and Dylan have to remind each other just why they belong to each other (Needy Dylan #1). Then there's dealing with something from Dylan's past (Needy Dylan #2). And then there's dealing with the demon that Malic was sacrificed to toward the end (Needy Dylan #3). Okay, truth be told it really is not as bad as I'm making it sound, but it did feel like a LOT of Needy Dylan this time around. It wasn't badly done, there was just a lot of it. It is probably why it got 4 stars from me instead of more. 
 [On a personal note, for those who know Thorny and Jazz, I could absolutely see the two of them in Malic and Dylan, especially at the end. Totally cute. No, I don't think Thorny is that needy, just that adorable and rambunctious (and quite possibly that insatiable). ;) ]
