I've had trouble in  my TBR pile for.... oh... a few months. I was having trouble bringing myself to start it because I had a love/hate relationship with Rebel and Hellion. Meaning: I LOVED Rebel and find Hellion lacking.Also, I have to be honest, I find nothing sexy about a whiney pregnant woman. And I loved the previous Colin excerpts in the other books.So with a night to kill I decided to give it a try, mostly because I love Elle Casey's work... and well, I really wanted to know what happened with Teagen and her father's company. It must be said that I went into this book with VERY low hopes.I was so surprised.First off: Colin is awesome. He was so the opposite of what I expected that I fell for him almost as hard as Alissa did. Not only that but the scene where he "tests" out his theory of whether it's lust or more.... well I loved it, because it showed a side of him that I didn't expect. A sensitive side that Elle hinted about in Hellion but I had pretty much forgotten.Alissa: I disliked her. Not so much because of the whining but because of how much she hated herself and partially because of the blame she seemed to unknowingly place on her child. I felt a good part of the book was spent making me dislike her. If she hadn't of gotten pregnant she would've been able to just on with her life after [spoiler] being raped. But she got pregnant and now she hates the world. Why not abort? I guess I was meant to dislike her.But then, things changed. Alissa opened up to Colin (in confidence) about what had happened and all of a sudden my dislike becomes pity. I don't really like pity, but I was willing to roll with it.And then BAM, Alissa takes the much needed step towards overcoming her insecurities and her demons and tells Colin that [spoiler] she wants him to erase her memory of the rape and replace it with something good. And just like that I love Alissa (and Colin does too) and things suddenly make sense in the world.Because of this book I had to go and re-read Rebel (twice actually). I still love Rebel the most... but Trouble was a perfect wrap up to the three brothers!
