What a great addition to a fantastic series. I love these guys. Cole and Jae are even closer than ever, & I love their devotion to each other. They love each other wholly- the good, the bad, the ugly- and have some hot sex in between. Jae has loosened up since the shooting and is much more demonstrative in his love toward Cole. Cole is incredibly protective of Jae and he wears his heart on his sleeve where Jae is concerned. Both of these guys have come a long way since book 1, about a year over the course of 4 books.My favorite scenes are when the MCs are together. They've hit the sweet spot in their relationship and it was amazing to go along for the tender ride that was this book, especially after all that they'd gone through to get to this point. I feel that if future books swerve more to other characters, the boys are in a good place to check in, but you just know that they're alright. Not that I want their story to end- not by a long shot- but I also don't want gratuitous conflict rocking the boat and/or uncharacteristic personality changes for no more reason than to sell more books. I think Rhys falls in the smart author category who doesn't mess w/ loyal readers and beloved characters for the almighty dollar, & if I sound wary & bitter, it's because ANOTHER author fell into this very pit and I'm not over it yet. Bottom line, love these guys and their supporting cast, & I feel protective of their future. I think Rhys will do right by them (and us, the loyal readers). I don't know how many more books she plans to add to this series but they can't be written quickly enough as far as I'm concerned.Each book contains a mystery that Cole is involved in knee-deep, unwittingly or not, and the relationships that Cole has, not just w/ Jae, but w/ all of the memorable supporting cast, gets further developed in each book. The MCs are awesome, but each of the supporting characters brings so much to the table, they feel almost as well developed as Cole & Jae.My biggest annoyance w/ this book was that my life got in the way of reading it in one sitting. Hate that. Now that I'm done reading it and beyond satisfied w/ how things developed in the story, I'm beyond annoyed that book 5 isn't out yet...ie) because of the way Rhys finished the story...the very last line of the book, to be exact. It's not a total, 'Wow, didn't see that coming,' because you sorta did, but it's still exciting in its possibilities for the next book.  Damn you, Rhys Ford, write the hell quicker!Highly recommend this entire series to date!
