Chris's story yay! CJ Duggan has hooked me with this wonderful NA romance series from the moment I read about Tess and Toby. The gag i together again and this time we get to see Chris front and center. Surly sexy Chris. who isn't what he seems.From the moment I turned the pages of the first book in the series I have wanted to see Chris's story. There was something about the all serious surly Chris that caught my attention. He didn't talk much but the few times he did in the other books you knew there was more to him and in this book we get him front and center.Chris and Sean now own the Onslow and Sean is with Amy, Tammy's best friend. Adam and Ellie are still flirting and fun to watch but Tess and Toby are in a limbo stage at the beginning. The angst from this you have until the end that will have you needing tissues is a perfect sidestory in the book. Ms. Duggan is devilish and mischievous there and it wonderful although at the time it wasn't.Chris comes off as a surly grumpy guy but in reality behind cranky exterior is a kind, gentle considerate guy who is secretly in love with the girl he thinks doesn't like him at least not until the kiss and the ocean moment they have. This is one Onslow boy that is unique in his ways because he is serious and thinks of the others safety and well being without anyone realizing it.Tammy is a smart but quiet and not so confident young lady who hates making decisions. Well decisions when it comes to having fun. She is very serious like Chris but unlike Chris isn't surly and grumpy. Her banter with Chris is hysterical and when they hook up she gets confused and scared. Not knowing how Chris feels makes her get less confident but he also makes her feel more secure and safe in the group. She is the one that feels left out until Chris.As they go along the coast they get closer and you see others see her differently as well. Sean and Amy are precious but Sean at the end is the sweetest guy. Adam and Ellie will be as flirtatious as ever and I really want them together. They are so fun and really like Chris says the only ones that can handle each other.Another winner and fun read by CJ Duggan. Can't wait for the next in the series and more of her work.
