I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would! I really got hooked by the character of Kaitlin, and her siblings, Sean and Marcail. Marcail was especially sweet! Wick did a great job writing such a young character; very realistic! I liked Kaitlin as a character, but she didn't really resonate
My main issue with this book is the amount of emphasis placed on physical attraction. Like seriously, I don't want to know about his ripped should muscles or his chest hair!!! Eew! Completely unnecessary! Also I am not a huge fan of Wick's writing style; WAYY to much head hopping! (POV switches) I had a hard time keeping up with whose head I was in.
All in all, not really my favorite. Too romancey for my liking, but that is just me personally, and doesn't necessarily make the book bad.

with me. I actually didn't like Riggs throughout much of the book, but as the series went on, I got really attached to him. I'd take him for a brother-in-law! My main issue with this book is the amount of emphasis placed on physical attraction.
