Review: By far my favorite book in the Men of Steel series.
Rating: 4 out of 5

Following the oldest brother of the Steel men, Cyrus, we get to witness a deeper understanding of his life. His rule concerning sex and women: No more than 3 times with the same woman.That is until Tara comes into his life and begins to shake things up.If you've read the previous book in the series, you've already been introduced to both Cyrus and Tara. Tara is a stripper who befriended Cyrus' brother, Jase and sister-in-law, Carly. After seeing her, Cyrus had the obvious instinct to want to bed her. After rejecting him on multiple occasions, the need to get her into his bed grows immensely. Tara's "boyfriend", Tony, doesn't seem to phase him either.Once he sleeps with Tara, things really start to heat up. Secrets are confessed and that 3 time only sex rule is debated. Their hook up moves to friendship, their friendship grows into something deeper.Cyrus is nothing like his brother, Jase. Nuh uh! Cyrus is the poster child for an alpha male. He's protective of not just Tara, but everyone in his family. It's hot to see he can be tough and tender at the same time.Tara aka Birdie is a naive and fragile girl. Her character was very believable seeing as she lost her parents at a young age and proceeded to be tossed around various foster homes. It made sense that she let Tony take advantage of her innocence. Despite her character being a pushover, she still managed to come through as a strong woman. All she needed was that first little push.The storyline was really great and flowed well. Overall, this story just seemed tighter and more thought out. I felt connected to both main characters right away. I could see their individual struggles and how surprisingly well they worked together. They were both severely messed up, but that's what made their relationship work.There were still many grammar and spelling mistakes, but a huge improvement from the previous books. Although I would have given a higher rating if the editing was polished up. There were just too many jumps from tenses. I had to work through many sentences to comprehend certain sections.
