I fell in love with Benny and Frankie when I read "At Peace"; which remains my favorite Kristen Ashley book. I remember emailing Ms. Ashley and asking when were Mike and Ben and Frankie going to get their books. She released game of hearts which was Mike's book just a couple of months after that. When she announced that she was almost done with Ben and Frankie I could not be more excited.This book exceeded expectations. I admit I probably would've enjoyed Frankie making Benny suffer a little bit more, but I get why KA would not go in that direction. Frankie had been alone most of her life it wouldn't of made sense for Frankie when given the opportunity for family to swipe her nose to spite her face. But I did like that once Benny made the decision that Frankie was good for him he never backpedaled, he never regretted it and he moved forward full speed ahead. I also really enjoyed seeing my Joe and Vi again in this book in being able to read about them hitting happily ever after in such a beautiful and permanent way.Benny is different from the usual Alphahole KA offering. Maybe it's because they lived and different towns for most of the book, I missed witnessing the whole possessive, protective, view and behavior that I'm used to from a KA hero. This may be the first KA book where there wasn't more than one possible Alpha on the field. Given who Frankie is it made sense in terms of storyline. That doesn't mean I didn't miss it because I really do enjoy it two alpha males literally and figuratively fighting over a KA heroine. That would be the only thing I felt this book was missing. And as usual once this one ends I'm thinking;  " Kristen,  when is the next one coming out?!?!"
