Review: REAL characters and surprisingly more heartfelt than I thought it would be

I read a couple of reviews that were below 5 stars where people may have thought Bee (h's nickname) was just an immature brat who spoke what's on her mind without thinking, but I don't think they stopped to think that most of the things she's said are true and sometimes the truth hurts. She didn't say things to be crude, but to be real and I'd take real over fake any day. Especially being the loner Bee is, the fact that she can say what's on her mind to jerks in the book shows that quiet doesn't mean spineless. She was mean towards Dominic but he just as well but that's what made them have chemistry that you can feel throughout the pages and I quite like their banter with each other.  It's just how they are and like Dominic said, once a girl physically harms them it seals the deal that they want her (like how she slapped him when he felt for her butt) When Bee said things to hurt him and basically try to push him away, Nico knew and that was why he was always back at messin with her again. Pushing someone away for fear of getting hurt is a normal reaction for any human being.. It's a flaw that she has but only made me like her more. I don't want to read about fake characters who never get mad or never says things they don't mean and ends up regretting it. Which is why I liked reading this. And Nico himself was hot. The characters are more easier to relate to because they feel like real characters you'd know. I think it's cool how everyone can play rough with each other and throw out their "i hate you"s in a loving way because it means they care lol. Not everyone is like that, but Bee and Nico's characters were (along with her sister and his brothers) and it suits them.My problems with continuing in some series is that I'm afraid I won't love the secondary characters that are due for their own book, but I didn't have a problem with this for the start of this series because everyone became close knit and I came to like the other characters as much as the main H and h which doesn't happen too often for me in other series. I like the sisters' banter and how they obviously have each others back (even if it is against the brothers). I like how some of the other brothers' characters are still kind of a mystery that makes me want to read their upcoming book to know more about them.This book wasn't just about getting together though. It was a little deeper. With Dominic, Bee found the strength to go from trying to isolate herself to putting herself out there to find people she cares about and will care for her in return and taking the risk that she may get hurt. (I think I like that she started out a loner because I sometimes see that in myself.) Out of the four other brothers, I can't wait to read about the two that I know will be taken for, and I'm curious to see new characters in the series for the other two.Great stuff!
