They say step one is admitting you have a problem… Well in that case, I outta start off by admitting that I absolutely, one hundred and ten percent have an addiction to the Mayson brothers. My book soul mate (also known as my reading obsessed friend in Australia) and I have both been chomping at the bit for the release of this book, along with many other Auroras Roses I’m sure. I hope all you RNJ’s (Romance Novel Junkies) out there have braced yourselves because lord have mercy, Nico Mayson does not disappoint.Nico is the fourth and final Mayson brother to get his book (although I think if we’re lucky, there could be some new Mayson’s coming our way… if you catch my drift.. so keep your fingers and toes crossed). Nico definitely incinerates panties in all his tattooed, over protective, badass glory that’s for damn sure, but just like his brothers he will completely steal your heart. I’ll give you a bit of a mental picture here if you don’t believe me… sweat covered abs of steel nuzzling a rescued Pomeranian puppy named Daisy… Ya, that’s what I thought – tell me that didn’t work for you. If you love a good ‘throw me down and take me’ alpha male – Nico (and his brothers) are the guys for you!Sophie Grates is the books high heel loving, introverted librarian.  She is very similar to the other ‘spouses’ of the Mayson brothers – she’s beautiful, kind, a little damaged but tough. My favorite part about Sophie? Her jealous side. She might be quiet but she knows what she’s got, and she is not shy about making sure that a certain ‘desperate housewife’ neighbor knows it too.One of my FAVORITE (and I say that with caps lock, because I really love it) things about Aurora’s books, is the timeline – it is much more realistic than a lot of romance novels. We’ve all read a ‘speedy’ romance book or two before. You know the books where they’ve fallen in love, gone through a life changing experience, broken up and gotten back together all within a week. Unlikely? I think so. Aurora gives the characters time to actually get to know each other and develop a relationship over a more realistic time period; all while maintaining the ‘fantasy romance’ aspect that all us RNJ’s out there crave.All in all, I really liked this book. It was most certainly worth the wait. Nico might not be my favorite Mayson brother – but I mean really.. Who could choose between them? Can’t we just have a Mayson brother sandwich.. That seems much more do-able.If you haven’t been wooed by the Mayson brothers yet… You’re missing out – it’s time to hop on that train ladies!Xo.AJ
