I requested this one back in the day as I had every intention of reading it. However, its been years and I still haven't gotten around to it and while I feel guilty at not reviewing a book I think that I need to admit to myself that I won't be reading this one anytime soon....if at all.
Rafe was heartbroken for a good fraction of this book, when I found out that his ex and the one he's trying to get over was married the whole time he was with her, I did not like that. I think it took away from the story. It really ruined it for me. At first Rafe didn't know that she was married but when he found out they still spent time together until she finally broke it off. So after that Rafe was heartbroken and like he hated himself because she was married and had kids. What bothered me was that he didn't end it with her after he found out, yeah he felt bad while he was with her but not bad enough to give her up.
Other than that, I liked Rafe, his family was full of guys and they all loved fiercely. I really liked that, it's like they find their woman and love her forever. They loved deep and forever, that's why he was so broken up about his ex, he really cared about her. The man was seriously swoon worthy towards Fallon, the things that he would say to her and his feelings were very permanent, he wasn't going anywhere away from her.
But the fact that his ex was married and he knew about it cancelled out the fact that he loved so deeply, thus the three star rating. And that made me sad because I really liked his character and it was ruined for me.
I really liked Fallon, she was independent , the boss, great taste in fashion, and didn't take crap from anyone. I like how she stood up for herself and told people off like she owned the building. Quite frankly one of the best characters I've read in awhile. She reminded me of Ivey in Play It Safe by Kristen Ashley. She was the owner of a burlesque club and she danced every once in awhile. Her story was really heartbreaking, something she couldn't control and it was so sad, I cried when I found out the secret she had for years. Her parents kicked her out as a teen, she had nowhere to go and they didn't care, they just cared about their family name. The end was also emotional for me. I also liked the other characters, especially Rafe's family, his brothers and his father. I loved that they were all so tight and really cared about each other.
If you don't mind the aspect of Rafe being with a married woman or if you can overlook it, I think this is a really great book with wholesome characters. The plot was really good and Rafe was so swoon worthy, I loved his personality very alpha.
