Oh, Max, how I love this man! He is such a sweetheart and he was such a change from the typical playboy or closed off/brooding type guys that are in most books. While he wouldn't object to occasional hook up when the opportunity arises, this guy wants to fall in love and he does it so well. I loved the way Max and Jules meet, it's so cute and despite their relationship progressing in a "fast paced" way, it just felt right for them. I loved watching them fall in love. Jules' predicament is one I've seen plenty of times before, but I liked how Bennett executed it. There are some ups and downs in this book, but the drama wasn't over the top, which is great, and I liked that their story just felt real. 
 Max as easily worked his way into my heart and become my favorite of all the Cold Fury, and yes, I may have said that about Zack and we do still have Roman to get to know, but Max will be hard to beat. There were so many sweet moments from this guy, he is totally swoonworthy. I loved his dedication to Jules and her family and how supportive he was of her. If I were to meet Max in real life, it would definitely be hard to resist him. Sigh...so darn perfect. This book was exactly what I needed right now and one of my favorites from Bennett in general.
