A big congrats to Karlsson for writing a wonderful true to life novel! What a way to hit the literary world! This story grabbed me from the very beginning and kept me interested throughout. A story about an unorthodox family who knew how to love and really be there for each other...no matter what!Shannon has lost her family and her life has not been easy. Meeting the boys came at a perfect time in her life and all of them were bonded the second they met.  They live together and have been for most of their lives. Even though all of the men find her to be perfect, a line is never crossed. They all stay together throughout college and open up a successful law firm.Shannon is a character that I admired. She is fierce, confident, brave, loyal and refuses to put up with any crap! I loved her sassiness towards the boys (Kavy, Sully, Cally and Finn) and how she always called them out. Her boys were fiercely protective when it came to her and even though she hated it at times, she always knew they were coming from a place of love. The banter between them all was entertaining and even had me laughing my ass off at times.As the story progresses, you meet Mia who is the victim of a terrible crime and Shannon is her legal guardian. When she is visiting Mia she meets Dylan Kellerman (Kel) who happened to be Mia's next door neighbor at the time of the attack. Shannon and Kel hit it off and start a relationship. But is Kel someone Shannon can trust? Can she give her whole heart to him?Shannon's involvement with Mia leads to death threats and the boys feel she needs more protection. This is when we meet Taylor who becomes her bodyguard. But that's not all he wants to be and doesn't have a problem showing it.The suspense was well written and kept me guessing throughout the story. Is Kel a good guy? What about Taylor? Who could be the individual who is making the threats to Shannon? You will have to read to find out ;) And yes...there is an AWESOME cliffhanger!! So needless to say...I cannot wait for the next installment!
