THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME VAGUE SPOILERS. I TRIED NOT TO GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY, BUT I WANTED TO PROVIDE A WARNING NONETHELESS.I have truly enjoyed this series. This story is about Colin a/k/a Trouble. He's the brother that's gotten into the most trouble with the law and fighting. We learn in this story the reason why he blames himself for his mom and sister's death and why he comes off as having a bad attitude. You'll recall from Hellion that Teagan and Quin have taken in Alissa after she becomes pregnant and her parents throw her out. She has no money, no job, no place to live and is scared. She is quickly falling for Colin and just thinks he kindness towards her is him feeling sorry for her. I had some problems with her through the first third of the book. She was rude to everyone, said hateful things and basically just threw her bad attitude around. She finally opens up to Colin and we learn her story and about the baby's daddy. A combination of that and her softening due to Colin made me like her more. Around 70% she finally stops feeling sorry for herself and gets a backbone and I respected her character so much more. Colin I just loved! He's doesn't think he deserves Alissa, but regardless he wants her and the baby. The picnic scene is the sweetest moment. He says just the right things to prove his feelings for Alissa. Her past comes back and Colin is right there to see to Alissa's safety.We also get a happy conclusion to the struggles Taegan has been going through with her dad's estate. Though it's not discussed a lot, it is handled in a manner that makes sense and gives us closure to that storyline. I still love Rebel and his quiet and caring ways.The issue with Alissa is uncomfortable but considering all that's happened, it's dealt with in the best way possible.Have I mentioned I loved Colin? He is a protective and loving man who takes care of Alissa and makes this story so romantic and special. Wait until you see what Alissa names her baby.Quin's autistic brother is back, making us smile and wanting to hug him. He's such a special character (funny scene with the cookie) and the girls are back with their potty mouths making us laugh at loud.A wonderful ending to a great series. I highly recommend all three of these books.
