MILD SPOILERS BELOW - MIND THE WARNING!*******************************************************************************LOVED IT! But then - why wouldn't I? I love Kristen Ashley, I love her writing style, I love her heroines and I LOVE AND PANT for her heroes.Colorado Mountain series is probably my favorite series from her - and that's saying a lot, because her other series are just as amazing, but I like her more rugged heroes in this one.I could not wait for Deck's book either. He was always the mysterious go-to guy in previous books. You knew, just from his appearances in other books, that this guys was going to be a true Alpha that didn't mess around.He was one of those that had no doubt in his love for his girl Emme, and was strong for the both of them while Emme went through her serious issues of PTSD. There were times where, any other man, alpha or not, would have written her off and said "the hell with it", but not Deck. He waited too long and KNEW it was true and meant to be.The only scene I didn't care for (because hey - a review isn't a review unless there's some bad with the good - or vis-versa) was the one involving Deck's ex.The whole book, up until where he was "caught" leaving Fortnum's with his ex, was about how much he and Emme hated her - which made you hate her too. Then, after that, all of a sudden he just forgives her and thinks that Emme should too. I just hated and felt that Deck shouldn't have championed the ex like that - it just felt wrong and didn't settle right. Then, to compile to that issue, Emme had lunch with the ex (because they were also ex BFFs), the ex came off as SO WEIRD! Almost like you knew that b***h was planning something. How she said "you know it will always be the 3 of us" (or something like that). WTF? I don't think she knew that at all LOL, which was why I was so happy Emme called a halt to the lunch and left.So other than that weirdness, that didn't set well with me at all (and I hope to God, this chick doesn't get her own book, because that's the only sense it brings to be me after the nonsense of bringing her up again at all - although making her a crazy ex stalker to the heroine in the next book would work for me too and be the only thing I would accept) I loved it.Perfect ALMOST all the way through!I'm super partial to Ms. Ashley, but even with that, to me she didn't disappoint at all.I'd recommend this book to anyone that loves a good, strong alpha that knows what's up!
