I received this book from the author for an honest review.So I have been a giant fan of the series but was sad when I didnt get an invite to join the tour *sniff* but then Melissa reached out and asked me to join and I was jumping up and down!When I first met Dylan in the first books, I was drawn to his sadness. I was drawn to his story. I was drawn to his hurt. I was just drawn to him and want to read about him and his life. Man, this book was sooo amazing. Melissa did a great job letting us into the love story of Shane and Dylan. We KNEW what would happen but actually reading it was devistating. I was sobbing at naptime with my class of pre-k kids. Some weren't sleeping and were asking "Ms. Angie why are you sad?" .... I was so broken for Dylan and totally understood why he pushed love away and why he felt he was undeserving. He, like most survibors, have massive guilt for the "What If's" they play in the mind.When we jump forward to the now with Dylan, he is still ruining chances of happiness. He does see Connor and decides to join the gym to check out the hottie while working out. *Snickers* Poor Connor thinks that Reid and Dylan are a couple which is so funny to us the reader. But when Dylan and Connor finally do go out, the chemistry is awesome. I loved how Dylan when he was younger with Shane, was the one who made them "wait" to expless their love but Connor was the one as adults. I love the playful banter and joking the men have with each other but how serious they both get when the time is needed. I also love how important family is to the characters in the series.This book does cover alot of serious subjects but I think that Melissa has done a great job depicting it correctly. I am a huge fan and kinda hope that Rachel will get a book? PLEASE!!! I am not ready to let this group go yet!!!
