I’m torn with this book. At times I loved it and at times I hated it. I didn’t get a chance to really connect with the characters as much as I wanted to due to jumping between the 4 characters, Danny, Dallas, Rowan, and Cora. Cora has always been in love with Dallas, but Dallas liked to play the field, that is until he thought Cora was ready to know just how much she means to him. Danny is Dallas’s brother and he and Rowan are lifelong sweet hearts and together they are all bestfriends. I loved that. The group friendship is amazing. But you never really get that full connection with any of them. We jump from the past to the present from each point of view. The lifestyle which they live is something I’m not familiar with, but by the end I left like I lived in it. Dallas I pretty much hated. He is an ass and Cora is way to good for him in my opinion. And Cora? I know when you love someone you want to give them every chance possible and you overlook things, but come on now. She is to strong a woman to put up with a man treating her like shit. Danny is the complete opposite of his brother he is sweet and caring and always put others first he tries to fix everything. I loved him and Rowan is that girlfriend you want by your side, she is fiercely loyal. Her and Danny are awesome together.
There is a lot of drama and fighting and other character dying but you don’t really get the full experience of those things. Its like we are having to look back from 4 different point of views but never at the same time or period in the past, each character goes back to a different time and in a way it leaves you whiplashed and trying to piece everything together. Its a lot of work to tell the truth.
Now the sex scenes? OMG! Those I loved, and the foursome these 4 have going on? OMG! yes please. We get a lot of sex scenes and I’m BEYOND thankful for those, but they can only go so far. I really wish we stayed in a 2 person point of view and maybe another book or spin off series in the other 2 point of views. That way we could really connect and get to know them and feel close to them. Right now its like I don’t know any of the characters at all, just what someone else told me. I want to leave a book feeling like I made a new friend but I didn’t come away with that feeling this time.
The plot is good and the writing is amazing, but there was just something missing for me. Something lacking. All in all its a good read, and I rate it a 3 star.
