This is the 3rd book in the Burg series and as always, Kristen Ashley did an excellent job.  I cant say I like this book better than the other books in the series because it wasn't better or worse than the other books, just different. The book has the same hot alpha man/hero (why do all KA heroes speak in sort staccato sentences - takes the phrase man of a few words to a new level!), sexy. steamy love making scenes, quirky strong yet vulnerable heroine, cool nicknames for characters.  This series also features somewhat older characters; the heroine Rocky is 38 and Layne is @ 42. i also love the fact that her characters are not afraid to find love and start families in their late 30s and 40s; the men often already have bee married before and have kids but they are willing to try again.  I also like the fact that Layne did cuss a lot but he never called Rocky the B or C word,  which i find offensive. The relationship between Layne and his boys was honest and realistic, in fact, I thought this book did the best job of all the KA books in depicting how Layne goes from a relatively uninvolved dad to a more involved dad who wins back the hearts of his sons, it was a realistic picture of trying to blend families.  Excellent job of dealing with PTSD and how trauma  impacts the  entire family. Loved the HEA too and loved how KA always manages to include characters from previous books so you get a chance to see how they're doing.  agree with some of reviewers that the way Layne involved his sons in some of his case work seemed a little unrealistic but hey, its a book so not all aspects have to be realisric.  Only reason this review is 4 rather than 5 stars is 1. thought the book was too long; 2. sometime there were so many characters in play i got a little confused.  But still a great book, kept me entertained thruout, really tender moments between Layne  and his sons.
