Well. Here we are, four books later, I finally got to read about my favorite Horseman and all-around, #1 BBF. I won't lie and say I loved it, the book I mean. In fact, I hated the first 30% or so. I also hated Dorothy and Jace. In the first three books, I disliked them both, especially Dorothy. They were selfish and still are, even in this part. So I felt absolutely nothing when I read about Dorothy's oh-woe-is-me act or about how pathetic Jace has become. Plus, he'd lost it all. His wife and kids. Dorothy. So, he had it coming, really. Wanting it all and thinking it would last. Right. Not really.Too little, too late. That saying goes for Dorothy. She too was selfish, thinking about herself. She was weak and stupid, I'm sorry but there is no other word for it, thinking and believing that Jace will really give up the comfortable life he had for her. Isn't it a written rule that that ain't gonna happen? Everybody knows that. Hell, every other character knew that, but not Dorothy. Hopeless romantic, to put it nicely. And then she messed around with Hawk. Nope, no love-lost between Dorothy and I. Not a fan of hers. In fact, I could even say that Dorothy is like a modern Helen of Troy. And I hated her too.But.Hawk loved her. Boy, did he! So, I begrudgingly accepted that she makes him happy. Of course, it doesn't come easy and it took time. Too much if you ask me. I hated the fact that Hawk was pretty much the scapegoat in all of this, collateral damage, throughout the years but in the end, it all worked out. And James 'Hawk' Young still has it, even at 50+ years, the sexy man.I guess the book did the trick. I felt strongly about it. Hated the first 30%, as I stated above and put it down, almost not finishing it. Almost. But then I thought, he's Hawk and he's my #1 and I've waited so long, of course I'm gonna be a trooper and finish it. And well, I'm not sorry. And it's all thanks to Hawk. No one else.I was surprised that Deuce made me laugh a few times. Yeah, after UnAttainable, couldn't really stand him.So 4.5 stars. Why, when I hated quite a few things about it? One word. Hawk. He trumps every single thing I hated about it.
