Publisher's Summary

Dillon: I don't do relationships. I've been abandoned all my life, and I don't trust a soul except my own damn self. But there's something different about Jack Chance. From his lithe, gymnast's body to his soulful hazel eyes, he's everything I never knew I wanted. When he's wrapped up in my arms, begging for more, everything seems right about the world.

I'm not boyfriend material - everyone in Abingdon knows that. I've got a moonshine-making hillbilly family, a heart hardened by war, and I walk into burning buildings for a living. Oh, and I'm still in love with my best friend.

Jack: I like a good project - maybe that's why I'm madly, ridiculously, over-the-moon in love with Dillon Manning. I want him to see what I see when I look at him - a hero, a whole, real man. I'm addicted to his touch, his body, the way he kisses me so deeply and so tenderly. There's more to Dillon than he lets on. I just want him to realize it.

But Dillon is just about on my last nerve, and I'm ready to be done. That's when the unthinkable happens.

Contains mature themes.

so meh

from the first chapter, I was screaming internally for Jack to love himself more, and realize he deserved better than Dylan. unfortunately, he never realized.

the love connection never really got a chance to develop once the kids appeared. it was all about them parenting together in a very unequal power dynamic, and not enough about them as a couple. im still not sure what Dylan even liked about jack, and vice versa. they only liked that they were both good with the kids.

this author has a tendency to introduce character building blocks late in the story for no reason. which is a shame because the characters already quite well fleshed out in the first half.

also: I really hope this author got to write off their Disney cruise vacation on their taxes because of this story. otherwise there's absolutely no reason for how LONG and boring the family vacation section was. it had nothing to do with the plot and was a very low point.

basically an advertisement for Disney and Lucasfilm, which did not fit the tone of the rest of the book, as well as being awful to sit through

I wouldn't read another of this author's books in a hurry. which is a shame because outside of the plot problems, they are a good writer

I read this to learn Strong’s story

I had hoped to find out about the backstory of the baker from Noble and Strong but it wasn’t here. It’s a typical “I’m too cool a guy” with the “I’m a great guy and I’ll do anything for you” until the cool guy gets jealous and “learns his lesson.” Unfortunately, minor, traumatized children end up involved here which catapults an unstable relationship into “family” impossibly fast. The cool guy, Dillon, gets immediate live in help (Jack) for the children because Jack’s a caretaker. Dillon doesn’t have to take as much responsibility as he should and he takes all the help he can get (understandable but Jack’s family provides a lot of the support). They do seem to work things out and come to love each other but the internal world of the characters is not shown most of the time so their thoughts only come through dialogue which isn’t always a reflection of a character’s feelings. The spice is the best written of the series I have read and does give some insight into their connection. Would they have fallen in love and had a relationship without the children needing a place to stay? If Dillon had been more stable (ie less “cool guy” and more caretaker) to help the children, would he have stayed with Jack? I’m not so sure.
