Jamesons of Coyote Ridge #2
Rough & Dirty
One night. Rough, dirty, and so hot, it was a wonder the barn didn’t burn down from the heat they generated.
If Stone Jameson were writing a letter to his younger self, it would go something like Don’t waste time leaving. You have everything you’ll ever want already.
Unfortunately, Stone didn’t have the ability to warn his younger self, nor could he get the last fifteen years of his life back. He could, however, return to the last place he’d experienced real happiness—his hometown of Coyote Ridge.
It takes mere days for him to realize that all the years he spent trying to forget the night that had altered his perception of himself were in vain. It takes a single glimpse of what he left behind to bring it all the potent attraction, the intense connection, and the longing permanently etched in his soul.
Getting absolution for his mistakes might be impossible, but when a second chance presents itself, Stone knows that determination and persistence are the only tools he needs to build the solid foundation he’s seeking.

The first few chapters in this book take place 15 years in the past. I have to say, I was so invested in this triad that I didn’t want their night together to end. I knew there was some reason they wouldn’t be together and it shook me, even knowing that by the end there would be a HEA. The chemistry between these three was off the charts; physically and emotionally. Perfection!
Of course, there wouldn’t be a story if they just stayed in their happy bubble forever. A lot can happen in 15 years, but sometimes those feelings come swooshing back in as soon as you see the love(s) of your life again. Stone is the one who left and he is the one who has to earn back the trust of Nico and Stevie. Especially since Stevie and Nico have gotten to a place where they are great friends, business partners, and roommates. Maybe there are still a lot of unresolved issues, but they are trying to be happy. Stone showing up again can either cement a lifelong relationship or tear everything apart again.
There are a lot of other people Stone has to prove himself to; nobody quite believes he’s home to stay. Yet over all of the years he was gone Stone has realized he will never be happy if he doesn’t try to mend what he’s broken and get Stevie and Nico back into his life. The journey of these three is at times fun and at times tore at my heart. They are so obviously meant to be together but there is so much baggage involved.
As always, I love spending time in Coyote Ridge. Whether it’s with the Walkers or the Jamesons it doesn’t matter. The author does a fantastic job of keeping the reader up to date on all the old favorites without bogging down the current story. I’m excited for this further expansion into the Jameson family.

Arc Review
Jamesons of Coyote Ridge continues. OMG, what a roller coaster of the ex’s.
Rough & Dirty - it’s all in the title. Coyote Ridge sure likes them sinful.
Stone : age 21. Stevie : age 18 - then girlfriend. Nico : Stone’s sibling Chelsea’s then off/on again boyfriend. One night of sinful pleasure between them and a hopeful future only led to questions of why Stone left. What happened that led him being away for 15 years? Why did he abandon them?
Theses are questions that will be revealed. No further spoiling.
Sinfully hot. The contents were scorching/sizzling, a person can certainly swoon. 🔥🔥🔥. Rough & Dirty - oh yeah… hmm, hmm, hmm. But what happened when Stone was away all those years. What of Stevie & Nico? Where are they now? What had their future held for them? Let’s not forget about the rest of the Jamesons siblings. They too are telling us their stories. So much has been packed within the pages.
Sacrificing of one’s heart can bring heartache and loss. The loss of oneself. The what ifs, why’s, how? Where did it go wrong? We began to understand Stone, his cause, his restlessness, his drive but most of all his sexual desires and preferences. The Walker’s weren’t the only men who had more than one fetish.
* Connection - deep
- lustful
- emotional
- sexual
* most importantly - Love. How many hearts are involved though?
? Again, why is one of the Walker siblings keeping their distance with Stone? Why is he ruining his dreams? What did Stone do 15 yrs ago that may hinder his future plans? Oh! the plot is killing me, and I’m hoping I’m not spoiling only providing questions to seek answers to.
Still love little details of the Walker’s. Maturity, family offspring’s , the teetering emotions of Travis. Yep, still reeling us in. Cannot wait for further input there.
Back to Rough & dirtying, no further spoiling but the questions revolve around ‘15 yrs’. Yep this is the crust of Stone’s choice in life that altered everything. How will he come back from this? Will Stevie accept what happened? Will Nico be in or out?
Coyote Ridge, not only caters the Walker’s but the Jamesons to. The acceptance of multiple partners being M/F, M/F/M, M/M, M/M/F.
The history of Coyote Ridge -
* Acceptance
* Domination
* Offspring’s
* Land/Property
* Heartfelt/Emotional
* Laughter & Tears
What more can you ask for. Nicole is the ‘Queen’ of Coyote Ridge

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars because it is excellent. Rough and Dirty is such an emotional and heart wrenching story. Once I picked up Stone's story I could not put it down. What a rollercoaster of a ride Stone's story is. Yes, everyone makes mistakes, but everyone doesn't get the chance to correct those mistakes, and it is in the telling of the way in which that chance to do over and make things right that Rough & Dirty really pulls its readers in and never lets them go.
Rough and Dirty is Stone Jameson's story, and it begins 15 yeas in the past when Stone, Stevie and Nico are just coming together. However, Stone runs away, and he has been running ever since. Stone left with no warning or explanation. Stevie was 18 years old and Stone's girlfriend, and Nico was the 18 year old hotshot football star, who also happened to be the ex of one of Stone's sister, and not to mention Stevie's girlhood crush when Stone left them high and dry. And now Stevie and Nico are in business together, and have become friends with benefits, but yet each is afraid to let the other know they are in love with the other for fear of losing the friendship, but now Stone has returned and put sent everyone in a tailspin...and let me just say this is when the story really takes off. Nico nor Stevie believe Stone will stay, since he has been running since that night, but Stone is ready to set down roots and come home to Coyote Ridge. Here in lies his dilemma...how can he make them understand his reasons for running and that he truly is home to stay?
If you are looking for a great read that you will not be able to put down about people who are deeply in love with each other trying to find their way to each other while trying to protect their hearts, and with the best secondary characters you will ever meet...YES, I DO MEAN THE WALKERS...then Rough and Dirty is the book for you. I absolutely loved this one. Bravo, Nicole Edwards, on yet another wonderfully written book about another great family of Coyote Ridge.

I loved Stone's story. Fifteen years ago, Stone ran out on Stevie and Nico, not explaining why he was leaving. Stone drifted from ranch to ranch, even bull riding, but nothing filled the hole in his heart since he left home. Now its time that he go home to Coyote Ridge, ready to set down roots and face his past.
Stevie Shepard was a starry eyed 18 year old when Stone stole her heart and left without a word. Now he is back home and she doesn't know what to do with that information. Nico has been her childhood crush and her roommate. They started a business together and now are friends with benefits. She can't tell Nico she has been in love with him for years. Nico has also been in love with Stevie but doesn't want to lose her friendship if she doesn't feel the same way. Then Stone comes back to town and he puts the two of them in a tailspin. After fifteen years away, no one believes he will stay and put down roots, everyone is just waiting for him to leave again.
Stone is ready to come home, he has missed everyone and feels an emptiness in his life that only coming home will fill. He meets up with Nico and finds out they are both single and not dating so he knows he has a chance to get them back and make up for the years he never contacted them.
"The one thing I've learned over the years is to never take anything for granted. I did it once, and I've been unhappy ever since. I don't intend to do it again."
I love Stone and Nico for Stevie. They fit her just right! The series is great, just a continuation of the characters from Coyote Ridge.

This book has a category of hotness all of its own!
We start Part I by going back fifteen years when Stone, Stevie, and Nico spend one incredible night together. These three have such amazing chemistry that it changes each of them after just one encounter. If I tell you that Stone is only 21 and Stevie and Nico are in their late teens and still in High School, would that change your thoughts on how Hot things can be? It shouldn't because HOT doesn't even come close to describing how amazing these three are together. Scorching...yes, that might be a better word to describe them.

This book’s title is so on point! They so like it rough and dirty! I thought my kindle was smoking with the heat these three generate, whether they are all three together or just two of them. I honestly think Nicole writes the best MMF and MM relationships!
I absolutely loved these characters together. Stone, Stevie, and Nico are all wonderful characters in their own right with their own hang ups and imperfections, but together they are perfect! Their’s is not a conventional relationship to most, but seems right on Target for Coyote Ridge!
15 years ago they ventured into the unknown, and then Stone ran. Fast forward 15 years later and he is back to claim what he realized was what he always wanted all along and to put roots down in his home town again. It will take forgiveness, honesty and pure unbridled passion, and of course love to make this work but Stone is determined to get back the two people he has always loved, Stevie and Nico, he just hopes he is not too late and that they will want the same thing . There is a lot more going on in this book and we get to see some of the Walkers which is always fun.
I loved this story and these characters so much and of course there is an adorable puppy involved that just makes every scene he is in better, because, well puppies.

Well done Nicole Edwards. I think my Kindle was actually steaming. Everyone makes mistakes, and misunderstandings are the biggest mistakes in life. Stone thought he was doing what’s best for Stevie after he had the most exciting night of his life not only with Stevie, but with Nico. It was Nico‘s first time with a man And Stevie‘s first time with two men. It was the best night of all their lives. Then Stone left. He felt he was doing what was best for Stevie because she was so young. 15 years later, it was time for Stone to come home. And coyote Ridge will always be his home. It ended up being an easy yet complicated love story between Stone, Nico and Stevie. As much as Stevie wanted to hate stone she just couldn’t. And a small complication was that she went into business with Nico and now lived with him. It sounds complicated yet. Nicole Edwards had made it easy to follow. I love that Curtis and Laurie Walker made an appearance, actually they had a lot to do with what goes on in this book and you have to love the Walker men. Nicole Edwards did a fantastic job bringing these three together for their happily ever after. And seriously my Kindle had steam coming out of it. A complicated relationship made easy with love and family having your back. An amazing story.

I absolutely love seeing the family that Nicole has created. This series is so good and it's only the second book of the Jamesons and I cannot wait for the rest of them.
When Stone was a young adult he fell in love with Stevie. He changed his ways and was faithful to her. She was his everything, they had a relationship where they could talk about any and everything. One of the things that they talked about came together one night when they added Nico their nights passion. It rocked Stone's world more then he thought it ever would.
He left town thinking he would end up hurting Stevie in the long run but didn't realize how much he was doing that by leaving the way that he did now.
What if though. What if he left and didn't have to? What if he could have had it all back then? What if he couldn't ever get them out of his mind in the 15 years since he left? What if he made the biggest mistake of his life by leaving? What if....
Man this book is smoking hot, shows what Stone, Stevie and Nico feels and thinks. You can see and feel what they went through and what they're going through when Stone comes back and wants it all? Will they be able to forgive? Will they even want to try? Will it work out with all three of them or is Stone too late????? READ IT AND FIND OUT!!!

*3.5 Stars*
Let me first say, that I love Nicole Edwards and have read all of her books. I love her writing style, connected plot lines and deep rooted romances. While this one was a fun read, it didn't keep my interest like her books normally do. I missed the additional character stories and plot connections with other series - the only side plots included some marriage planning from previous series characters and future planning for some Walker land, but both were very minimal. The depth of writing that's usually present in Nicole's writing to include the emotions of each character, how they fall in love and all the small moments just seemed to fall short. Instead of the love story really developing for Nico, Stevie and Stone, you get a lot of steamy, sexy scenes, which don't get me wrong, are incredibly well written, it just fell short with a solid plot line for me and I found myself skimming - which I typically never do.
All that to be said, it's still a great, quick read and perfect to pick up for summer. You will fall in love with these three, their puppy and the excitement they share about the future. Maybe we will hear more from them in a later book! Fingers crossed!

This is book 2 in this series, and I have to say I am hooked. I love all the other series by Nicole Edwards so I am not surprised by this at all lol!!! I am enjoying meeting and learning more about the Walker cousins. This book starts 15 years in the past when opinions and ideas were vastly different than they are now.
Stone, Stevie & Nico had the most exciting and impactful night of their lives. Both Stevie & Nico were still in high school, so Stone did what he thought was best and left town. After all that time wandering, he realized everything he wanted and needed was back home in Coyote Ridge, so he goes home to lay down roots. The only problem is he sees just how much he hurt both Stevie & Nico when he left without a word.
We get to see Curtis & Lorrie Walker along with most of their boys which is always a treat since Curtis makes Stone an offer to help him put down those roots he wants so badly. Stone is determined to win back Nico & Stevie knowing that he cannot be complete without them. The question is will they forgive him and see if they can make a future together. With his family helping him from all directions Stone might just get the happily ever after he was looking for when he came home.

This book deserves more than 5 Stars. This book was absolute perfection. I absolutely loved Stone's story. This book starts 15 years ago when Stone ran out on Stevie and Nico. 15 years ago Stone, Stevie and Nico spent one incredible night together that lead to Stone running away. While away Stone finds himself searching for something he just couldn't find until he returns to Coyote Ridge. Upon his return he finds that Stevie and Nico are now business partners with a friends with benefits arrangement, both afraid to share with the other that they are in love with each other. The return of Stone has put both Stevie and Nico in a bit of a quandary as neither one of them believes that Stone is here to stay. And he now has to answer for the reason why he ran away 15 years ago and show them that he's back for good and has no intentions of running again. As a reader this story just pulls you right in. You find yourself rooting for them to find their happily ever after. We see where mistakes are made and sometimes we are able to make amends for these mistakes and find happiness after all.
I would definitely recommend this story to anyone that believes in happily ever after.
Once again great job Nicole and I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.

Rough and Dirty is exactly what you are going to get from this read! Nicole Edwards has again mastered a smoking hot menage book that will want you wanting more!
The story starts 15 years ago when Stone was 21 years old and dating the love of his life, Stevie who is still in high school. Stone always knew he was bi-sexual and has had his eye on a certain man that would bring the three of them together. Nico, his sister's ex boyfriend. After a very insane night of a lot of experimenting, and I am writing this as clean as I can LOL, the trio's hearts and minds have changed forever. Then Stone gets cold feet and is afraid he will destroy Stevie's and Nico's future and two days later moves away. He spends the next 15 years never forgetting about them and working ranch jobs in hope of one day owning his own.
He decides to finally come home and many things are different except his love still for Stevie and Nico who are now business partners and living in the same house.
Excellent story of love, forgiveness and family. The Walker clan is back in this book and they are almost all there with open arms and a new opportunity for Stone to start a new future back home where he belongs.

Book 2 in the Jamesons of Coyote Ridge series and it was a great read. You get to see Stone, Stevie and Nico 15 years earlier in the first couple of chapters, so you are able to get a good sense of their relationship with each other and what drew them apart. The rest of the book is now 15 years later, and everyone is grown up and things have changed for them all. Stone is back after leaving and Stevie and Nico have created a friends with benefits situation while also working together but that doesn’t stop the underlying feelings between them that they won’t address. Once thing missing from all of their lives is each other and that only becomes clear when they all see each other again. Being able to go on this journey with them was a great ride. Will they work it out and finally give in to each other or will they walk away from their future because of the fear of being hurt again? It was an emotional rollercoaster that will have you happy one second and ready to cry the next. This book will suck you in from page one and will stay with you after you are finished. Such a great read and I can’t wait to read what she has coming next in this series.

Rough & Dirty, book two in The Jamesons of Coyote Ridge is spicy, it’s steamy and oh so yummy! It’s is also one of my favorite tropes, why choose with two hot men and one beautiful woman and this story takes us on a journey from the past where one night changed everything for Stone, Nico and Stevie to the present fifteen years later when they meet again.
Stone Jameson is the wild one who liked to dominate and be in control and he knows he has something special with Stephanie Sheperd (Stevie) even when they were young but when they brought Nico Daugherty into their escapades, together they were explosive!
Jump ahead fifteen years later and they are going to discover that relationships are complicated especially when there are three in the mix. Hearts have been broken and trust needs to be earned and most importantly Stone needs to show that he won’t leave again in order for them to have a future together. I loved their journey from past to present and I was thrilled to be along for the ride.

Rough & Dirty is the 2nd book in the series about the Jameson siblings, and while we get sneak peaks of the characters from the previous book, it can easily be read and enjoyed as a standalone. Stone, Stevie and Nico's story is about second chances, about finding a home not just in a place but with the right people, about unexpected gifts and paying good fortunate forward. It's also a very emotional book filled to the brim with steamy sexy times in all constellations, about overcoming past mistakes and forging ahead with your plans for a happy future. I laughed at the puppy's antics, felt anger, love and passion along with all three main characters and cried at the sweetest gesture of them all. A wonderful journey with all its missteps and learning curves but an awesome finish line with a well-deserved HEA. I can't wait for the next story!
I was fortunate to have received an advanced copy from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily and honestly.

Nicole is a master of second chance stories.
I loved that she is giving us more of the Jameson's. Anytime I am able to visit Coyote Ridge again is a good day for me.
In this story we have Stone, Nico and Stevie.
Stone was always the bad boy , never settling down or believing in monogamy until he met Stevie. They were inseparable and falling in love. But one hot night with Nico and everything changed for them.
Stevie always had a crush on Nico, who was her best friends brother, but never acted on it. Until one day Stone let her have everything she wanted.
After that night Stone realized he wasn't good enough for either of them and he just ran away.
Now 15 years later he is back and can't stop thinking about them.
Stevie and Nico tried moving on but was never really complete without Stone.
When Stone came back he wanted to show them that he was back for good and never leaving.
In the first end Stone learned the home is where the heart is in more ways than one.

I'm loving the Jamesons!
Already, after this first book I'm in love with the Jamesons!
This is Stone, Nico and Stevies story. it starts 15 years ago when each have more than a fascination with each other, that fascination leads to a very steamy night, where the 3 of them explore each other's desires. The night is way to much for Stone, he's confused and he's not sure if what happened is what he really wants or needs. What does he do, yep he runs out of town.
Move onto today, Nico and Stevie have stayed good friends, they even run a business together and share a flat, all is good apart from interference from both their ex's.
Then Stone returns! Trying to convince people it's for good this time. Will it be? Will he make amends with Stevie and Nico? Will he get his life back on track. I think that the Walkers may have a hand in that. It's great that they get a cameo role (being family of course).
I loved this book and I can't wait for the next instalment.
Are the Jamesons the new Walkers? I think they could be xx

*4 stars*
I have really enjoyed this series and was excited to start this one. The author has definitely brought back the fire and desire in this story. I really liked the chemistry between the lead characters and just enjoyed the spark all that ignited the fire between them. I also loved to see beloved characters from the other series make appearances. Can't wait to see what's next in store!
Stone & Stevie have always had a great relationship and there's been a lot of feelings between them but one night changed everything. Now years later, Stone comes back into town and has no plans to leave again but tries to make everything right again. Stevie has changed along the years and lives with Nico while working together at the firm. Both have made their feelings toward Stone very clear but sometimes you just can't change how you feel deep inside. Stone will do whatever it takes to gain their trust again and hopefully restore what has been broken. Will he succeed in the end?...

I would like to thank Nicole Edwards for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Rough and Dirty is the first book in the new Jamesons of Coyote Ridge series by Nicole Edwards. This story is about Stone Jamesons, Stevie Shepherd and Nico Daugherty. The three had shared a passionate night of rough and dirty sex, right before Stevie and Nico graduated high school. Stevie was Stone’s girlfriend and Nico was someone they both had to whom they had been been attracted. It felt like more than just sex to all three, which is why Stone ran away immediately after to pursue working on a cattle ranch, abandoning Stevie and leaving her angry and distrustful. Over time, she and Nico became friends, business partners and eventually roommates who occasionally shared a night of “just sex.”. When Stone returns to town fifteen years later and sees both of them, he finds that the spark that lit that night was still there. He makes it his mission to win them back. The three main characters in this book had insane chemistry. It was a very steamy book. I enjoyed reading as strong, dominant Stone goes out of his way to win back the objects of his affection. Stevie was the bigger holdout, and I admired how she stood her ground and made him take responsibility for leaving and prove that this time was different. Nico was my favorite though. He was the most easy going, less wounded party from the past and he reached out for what he wanted with both hands. It was gratifying to read of these three strong people creating a future together. The author’s writing was superb as usual. She is a consummate storyteller. I also enjoyed the cameos that the Walkers played in this story. It is always fun to check in with old friends. If you enjoy spicy contemporary why choose romance about second chances, small towns, and a Texan lifestyle, then this book will be right up your alley.

I love my visits to Coyote Ridge and I’m loving this new series from Nicole Edwards. If you love second chance love stories look no further than Stone, Stevie and Nico’s passionate romance.
These three have a complicated past, Stone dated Stevie in high school and Nico dated Stone’s sister. But when the three of them have a night of passion in the loft of Stone’s barn it has Stone running scared and he takes off. Fast forward to today and he is back in Coyote Ridge only to find Stevie and Nico are now business partners so will these three pick up where they left off…..one click to find out.
As you would expect from Nicole Edwards this is one smoking hot read but it’s also emotion and full of love. I was captivated from the first page to the last line and Rough & Dirty is a a great addition to the Jamesons of Coyote Ridge and I can’t wait for what’s to come.

Rough and Dirty is the second book in Nicole Edwards' The Jamesons of Coyote Ridge Series. After 15 years on the run from home, Stone Jameson returns home to the small town of Coyote Ridge. Even though 15 years has gone by, something haven't changed, his attraction to Stevie and Nico.
Stevie and Nico have been in Coyote Ridge for the last 15 years after Stone's departure moving on as business partners with benefits, always to weary to add extra ties.
Now with Stone's return, things for the three of them is fixin to change.
Rough and Dirty is all about finding your way back to where you should haven ever left. The story has all the emotions of reclaiming and reuniting a love that never truly died. I loved all the feeling that this book has to give. Not mention all the amazing characters that one just can't help but to fall in love with.

When Stone was younger, he fell in love with Stevie. He was a love ‘em and leave ‘em type until her. But then came Nico, the three had one night of passion and then Stone ran. Fast forward 15 years, Stevie and Nico are friends with benefits and coworkers. They both know something is missing from progressing their relationship. Stone.
Stone returns to Coyote Ridge, hoping to make amends to the two people that he loves and knew he never should have left.
This book was a fantastic read, the flow was easy, and you can’t put it down. This is Nicole at her best. This is an old fashion loves story with a twist, a menage.
Catch up with some of the other Jamesons and Walkers.
Well done Nicole, love this book!

dnf - Finished right at the beginning, because I really don't appreciate assholes beating someone who doesn't even properly defend himself. Stone just witnessed his sister hysterically breaking up with her boyfriend (again, it's obviously her favorite sport), and though he has absolutely no clue what happened, and though he himself thinks that sister in question "is a spoiled bitch and nothing and no one is ever good enough for her", she's his sister and he's that true macho Texan man, so of course he goes and attacks that poor guy not letting him leave as he tries to.
And of course I'm out, because the way I see it, this kind of unfair aggressive self-rightous idiots can't die out soon enough. Not going to waste my time on him and his "romance".

Rough & Dirty
A grudge that was held too long
3 Stars
I usually really enjoy Nicole’s books but I had a difficult time staying interested in this story. I found this book to be quite wordy. The subject of the break up between Stone, Stevie and Nico was beaten to death. I had a difficult time liking Stone and Stevie. I mean, in the first chapter Stone is putting a beating on Nico for breaking up with his sister. And throughout the entire book Stevie held a grudge on Stone for leaving without saying a word. I, quite honestly was tired of the subject being held over Stone’s head every time I turned the page.
I felt like Nicole was purposely dragging out the HEA just to keep the reader on the hook.
*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was SO freakin' excited when I found out that this was Stone's story! I wanted it like an addict wanted a hit!!!! And boy oh boy it did not disappoint! You meet Stone, Nico, and Stevie. They had one night when they were young adults way back when that ended up being unforgettable for all three of them. And none of them ever forgot it, but Stone up and left; was gone for 15 years to pop up all those years later with the same feelings that he spent 15 years running from. There's plenty of steam throughout this book between 2 and 3 of them. The plot is amazing. You will run every gamut of emotions reading it but you will enjoy every bit of it like I did! 5 amazing stars!!!!!!

I loved this Stone, Stevie and Nico’s story! I could not stop reading it, and when I was not reading it, I was thinking about when I could read more!
Stone, Stevie and Nico had a night together 15 years ago, but days later, Stone decided to leave town with no explanation to either Stevie or Nico. When he returns to Coyote Ridge, he quickly seeks out Stevie and Nico. 15 years has changed all 3 of them, the question for each of them us has their feelings changed for each other.
This story was full of Coyote Ridge residents. I loved getting quick peaks at most of The Walkers, as well as Stone’s siblings.
I am excited for more in this series.

I'm going to put it out there that this has now become my new favourite. It is a bit of a hard story to review as I don't want to give to much away, so all I'm going to say it started with a wow and had lot's and lot's of wow's along the way. Love the interaction with all the other family members, which is one of my favourite likes of Nicole Edwards book. The ending had me wanting more and also wanting to know what the future holds for them. Most definitely didn't want to put this book down and hated when I turned the last page. So I'm going to say 100% read it for yourself and see what I mean.
