I guess I'm a Con Riley fan.  I still think "After Ben" is the best of these three - but maybe only because it was my first. "Aiden's Luck" is my second favorite of the trilogy, and I loved them all."Aiden's Luck" is particularly appealing to me because it's all about the amazing good fortune one has when one finds oneself surrounded by people who seem to love you in spite of the fact that sometimes you just act like an a-hole."Aiden's Luck" Brings us back to the world of Theo and Ben. Ben is dead, but not forgotten, because his little brother Marco Fortunato deLuca is in Seattle from Milan and getting all up in people's business like an adorable Italian puppy.  Theo is with Morgan; and Theo's former assistant's brother Sean is with Peter (Theo's rebound fling after Ben). And now Theo's former summer intern Evan's brother Aiden is finally getting Con Riley's laser-beam focused on him. You see, Aiden is living temporarily in Peter's house; but Morgan and Theo have shipped Marco off to the same house because apparently he drives everybody crazy.And now Aiden is acting, as I mentioned, sort of like an a-hole. But he has his reasons.As the complicated back-story alluded to in "Saving Sean" and even way back in "After Ben" begins to unravel, the reader begins to see why Aiden is the way he is. Issues of adoption, suicide, addiction, guilt, trust - oh, you name it - are stirred into the mix.  Aiden was hard to love; but once I understood his story, I couldn't help but hope for the best. All of his good intentions have led him into a horrible emotional dead end; and only one person can really turn him around. And that, in the end, is Aiden's luck.There is a hater in this review list who says the book is badly written - WTF?  Look, I'm a writer, and Con Riley is a wonderful writer.  So ignore that stupid review.
