I had a bit of a hard time liking Gage at the beginning of this book but as soon as he met Trent, it was a total game changer and the story flowed really well from that point! There's something about Trent, who is raising his sister's kids, Emmie and Hunter, after she died giving birth to Emmie, who is nearly four now.I love stories with kids involved but sometimes they tend to get on my nerves when you have kids at certain ages who are acting way younger or way older than they are reported as being. This story though, Kindle Alexander hit the nail on the head with the kids. They were totally age appropriate and very well-thought out and portrayed children.The way Gage seamlessly went from self-proclaimed bachelor for life to wanting to spend every moment with Trent and the kids was heartwarming. I loved watching them fall in love with each other, but I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop.There were several hints as to what could be the source of the inevitable angst and breakup in the book early on but as you read and it still doesn't come and you're thinking well maybe this just might work out for them after all and then BAM! The author knocks you upside the head with something so unexpected and completely out of right field that my jaw dropped, my head was playing catch up, my heart was pounding wildly in my chest and the tears were seeping from my eyes. I was devastated for them!But damn that was good.The mark of a great author is to have you so caught up in the story, the characters, and all the feels that you don't even see it coming. That's what happened and the transformation of watching it all go down just solidifies your love for the book.I say hands down, great job by Kindle Alexander! Will definitely be reading more from this author in the future!(
