but... 
 And here I thought that this would be an awesome third book for the Blackcreek series. So not the case! Just so not the case! Mason and Gavin's story started out great until all their issues mostly revolving around their respective families started to get annoyingly repetitive. Gavin with his uber-religious parents and the "your soul is going to hell" speech started to get on my nerves just after the third time he visited his mom - like every single interaction with his Mom were like that. Mason on the other hand acted like the most sensitive sensitive prick to ever live and was always guilt ridden like Gavin for shunning his parents after it was revealed that he's not their biological son. I mean, lawd - is he like twelve or something?! 
 Don't even get me started with Isaac - Mason's annoying ex-boyfriend. And then there's Braden - I know that he's Gavin's first boyfriend and he really cared for him but this dude need to get it in his head to mind his own business just for once. Ugh. ANNOYING! ANNOYING! 
 I can't believe the story turned out like this, I really do like the start but somewhere in there - it was like the summation of the whole series - repetitive, weak plot points and lost potentials. Sadly, it's the weakest amongst the series so far...
