Fun, sweet and sexy, this book still packs an emotional punch, with a hero that you cannot help but adore. I loved it, and devoured it in one sitting, unable to put it down.<\/p>\n<p>I love this series so much. Centred around a fantastic family of characters, this book can be read as a standalone, but will obviously be more meaningful if you\u2019ve read the earlier books and can therefore enjoy the dynamics and the group.<\/p>\n<p>This is Alex\u2019s book. Alex is the brother of Kate and Bram (heroine and hero of books #1 and #2 respectively), and is the clown of the family. Always the fun-loving joker, he is cool, confident and cruisy, a dedicated soldier and he cares deeply for his family and friends. So much so that he tags along as a wingman on a double date with one of his fellow soldiers, never expecting that the woman he meets is going to turn his whole world upside down.<\/p>\n<p>Sarai lives her life according to rules and lists. She works and studies, putting all of her efforts into graduating and making a good life for herself, she doesn\u2019t deviate from her plans. And then along comes Alex. Sweet, sexy and charming, she tries to keep her distance so that she doesn\u2019t lose her way, but it doesn\u2019t take long for him to wear her down with his flirty persistence, and she soon finds herself completely swept up by the irresistible man.<\/p>\n<p>Alex and Sarai together are absolutely sensational, and though fast-moving, their whirlwind of a romance feels natural, and I loved watching them fall so hard and so completely. They follow their hearts, and their relationship is sweet, fun, sexy and wonderfully functional.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cYou\u2019re the best decision I ever made.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But even in their blissful, loved-up state, there is still drama that they need to face, and it is heartbreaking. I cried for them, and my heart ached, but watching them work through it is so wonderfully written, and shows just how far they\u2019ve come and how deep their love for each other is, and I thought it was beautifully handled.<\/p>\n<p>This book is not as angsty or dramatic as others in the series, but it still brings the feels, and I enjoyed the lightness of the story. The characters from previous book are all involved, and right up in Alex and Sarai\u2019s business, which I loved, and the story ends in a great place, leaving me with a big grin on my face.<\/p>\n<p>I loved this one. It\u2019s fast-moving, but it\u2019s a beautiful story of family, love, and following your heart.<\/p>\n<p>4 stars.<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Review Copy generously provided by the author in exchange
