I am struggling to write this review, only because I absolutely loved this book and do not want to give too much away.  It is a book that had me smiling, shaking my head, and crying.  I want to be River’s roommate or even just a friend so that I can know Bobby and Adam.  I wanted to grow up in their neighborhood so that I could be part of their family and know them back then.  It is very rare for me to feel so connected to a character in a book, much less three characters in a book.Bobby and Adam had a typical brother relationship.  They fight, hate each other, and then make up and are best friends and brothers again.  They also defend each other against outsiders.  Although, most brothers are not in love with the same woman, the same woman for the entire lives.  This causes such a wide crack in their relationship that there were times that I was very very concerned that they would not be able to get past it.  I felt the hatred they had for each other, knowing that only brothers would be able to work through it and, hopefully, be okay again.  I was not sure that this is where Cassandra Giovanni would take the story though.  Their protectiveness over River was sometimes crazy.  Bobby especially, had her on a pedestal that there were times I was not sure he even realized what he was doing to her.River was so real.  I could see how she considered these two men her best friends.  They protected her growing up, when her parents let her down.  They protected her as a woman when she was dating the wrong men.  It was bound to happen that she would have stronger feelings for one of them than the other.  She tried so hard to keep her feelings in check and not hurt Bobby, but fate stepped in and opened both Adam and her eyes showing them how good they could be together.The ending was shattering.  Never ever did I think this was how the book would end, I won’t give it away but be prepared to be shocked.  I am now anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.Of course, I am highly recommending this book to everyone.
