The theme of family – both real and the one you create yourself – runs strongly throughout this book, and the dynamics are just brilliant as this strange little group finds their way forward together. One of these days I’m going to marry you so badĪnd we see him easily and naturally step into the role of partner and family man, caring for Lake and their two younger brothers. When we aren’t together, I miss you so bad Oh Will! This man completely captured my heart in Slammed and his pure awesomeness is reinforced in this one as we get his POV! We see him and Laken happy, together, and in love, and though they have issues to work through, they do it all functionally, and it works to add depth to the story as we get to feel the depth of his love for his girl and his absolute devotion to her, and OMG what a swoonfest! It’s pounding against my chest because I realize I’ve never been so sure about the rest of my life than I am in this moment. Not even because I want her worse that I’ve ever wanted her before. It was totally worth it though! The continuation of Will and Lake’s beautiful love story had me captivated from start to finish as they begin the next stage of their lives together, and I couldn’t put this book down as it all played out in gloriously fun, sweet, swoony and emotional detail.

At one point I had to put my kindle down just to take a moment before going on it was so gut wrenching (like Joey in Friends, I was tempted to put my kindle in the freezer for a bit). OMG! Absolute butterflying rollercoaster!!!
