Men of Medford #1
Stuck with my Brother's Firefighter Besties
Join the mile high club? Done.
Discover the seductive ‘stranger’ is my brother’s bestie… OMG.
Get stuck in a cabin and claimed by three off-limits firemen? No way.
After being robbed, I flew home with my pride in a carry-on and my faithful corgi stowed in cargo.
So when the passenger next to me looked like People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, I did what any heartbroken girl would do.
I followed him into the tiny bathroom to forget my troubles at 30,000 feet.
And forget I did—
Until my brother picked us up at the airport.
Mr. Sexy Face tossed our luggage into the trunk, smirking like we had a secret.
Because we did. A very naked one.
Then, lured by the promise of ‘all-inclusive relaxation’,
I accepted my brother's invite to the firehouse ski trip.
Cue the surprise blizzard.
Now I’m snowed in with three forbidden firefighters.
Jaxon, my wild ride in the sky… Now I’m his favorite landing strip.
Colt, Mr. December in the charity calendar, looks like he splits logs with his bare hands.
And Ryan, the golden retriever jokester who makes me beg between the sheets.
They’ve all claimed me. At the same time.
I’m so screwed.
I can’t choose between them. And I’m not about to burn it all down and run.
Not when my three firemen make me feel like I’m finally home.
Stuck with my Brother’s Firefighter Besties is a standalone MFMM why choose romance in the “Men of Medford” series. Get ready for rom-com vibes, a mid-flight one-night stand, and forced proximity steam. No swords cross, but fire hoses get tangled. Ultra swoony HEA.

Stuck with my Brother’s Firefighter Besties
I’ll start this off my saying. The immaturity in the title should have been a dead giveaway flag to skip this one.
Heck, if I really get down to it, the characters don’t even match the way they’re summarized in the actual summary.
Anywho …
Oh, Lila.
The girl has certainly put herself through the wringer.
After falling for a scam that cost her everything but her life and Biscuit, her corgi, she heads home with her tail between her legs.
On the flight she meets a charismatic Jaxon and joins the mile high club only to realize shortly afterwards that he’s no stranger to her family.
Her big brother Nate works in the same firehouse as Jaxon, and soon we meet Colt and Ryan.
Attraction is running rampant and Lila manages to put all three of our guys under a spell pretty quickly.
When the annual firehouse ski trip comes around Nate manages to convince Lila to take a break and join them.
It doesn’t take much before things come to a head. Words and feelings are shared. Things get intense and Lila receives a threatening text message from a stranger.
They all head back home and Jaxon, stuck in his head decides that he should take a step back so as to not crowd Lila or force her into anything she doesn’t want even though at the cabin they all admitted that they felt the same. Things go very up and down and the writing makes it hard to keep up with.
The stress starts to wear on Lila quickly as the mystery texts keep pouring in. At this point it’s unclear what their motivation is. Lila’s thoughts make it seem as if someone knows what went on in the cabin but only vaguely.
Time jumps at random times really mess with the flow of reading. I’m constantly looking back to see if I accidentally skipped a few pages. It’s difficult to keep up with.
All of a sudden Lila is working, helping with the charity calendar shoot. All of the awkward paranoia and pining is gone and everyone is back to joking, flirting and not stewing. It’s sort of giving me whiplash. The constant back and forth with no context.
I can’t figure out what is going on.
They were together, happy. Get in the car to go back home and no one talks, they’ve all sort of split off there’s not even any interaction between the guys. Ryan is not mentioned at all and considering how close he and Lila got at the cabin I find it just weird.
Jaxon is being the “gentleman” and backed off.
All of a sudden Colt is asking Lila out on a date even though in her POV since the cabin she’s pretty much said nothing apart from stress and her mysterious text buddy. Speaking of which, why does this even need to be a thing and who could it be? The only suspense I’m feeling is trying to figure out the answers to see how ridiculous it’ll be.
It’s starting to get too difficult to follow and I’d hate to have to NF a book but the author just isn’t consistent enough with feelings, timing, logic or even obvious things.
At the cabin Ryan admitted to falling for Lila but now, at the charity gala he’s acting unsure. These are supposed to be grown adults we’re reading about and they are acting like they’re in middle school.
Okay so it’s a stalker who has given no indication of what they want so far.
I don’t get why Lila is so freaked that people will judge her for being with the guys after working on the calendar with them. It was for charity… it’s not like she benefited in any special way.
The whole stalker/reason for the drama/climax/fight/reveal was dumb and juvenilely written. Rick’s reasoning and explanation made NO SENSE. Hell, them showing up and Nate saying “oh he’s out back waiting for you” was eye roll inducing. (Not to mention Nate saying that and then vanishing just to show up at the jail) The cops showing up and just arresting everyone after Ryan JUST left from explaining things was stupid.
Lila is ridiculous. For crying out loud she gets all the answers she needs from her dad and then sulks up to her bedroom instead of going to check on the guys that were just arrested for defending her. Her character has to be one of my least favorite FMCs I’ve read in a LONG while.
It all wraps up in a nice little box with a pretty ribbon.
This book just wasn’t … good. There were just too many issues but the intention was there.
Biscuit stole Colt’s sock, and the show, and my heart.
Would I read again? No. Would I recommend? No.

Tellement de potentiel. Tellement une perte de temps au final

I’ll come back and rate this properly when I’m officially done reading it.. eventually.
Ugh this book started off really good for me up until it got to the point that they decided to go all in together. In my opinion, that part could have been written better. One moment Jaxson is absolutely against trying to be with Lila because of her brother and then all of a sudden he’s so confident about it? But that’s not the part that irked me the most. Literally right after (Chapter 14) the chapter starts off in the middle of a sex scene - it was so confusing that I thought it was another dream vs the real deal. Where is the build up? Such as initiating the sex, taking clothes off, the build of sexual tension? Absolutely non-existent. Just a mouth already on her 🐈⬛ while the others are also involved. This didn’t flow naturally and out of the 500 or so RH books I’ve read this was a first for me. We need the full build up, not jumped right into it. I mean irl it would be nice to just automatically be naked and ravished like a queen but there’s steps to get there first lol.
The scene with Ryan a chapter or two after is similar in lacking details, it’s like it’s abruptly cut off and onto the next chapter.
I’ve never ever DNF’d a book but I’m pressing pause on this one and will slowly finish it as I go. I’ll update my review and rate it once complete. 😊

I was with it until the weird blackmail plot - it honestly made less than zero sense.

3.5*
Here, we meet Lila fresh off being swindled out of her entire savings and returning back to her hometown broke and ashamed.
This book drew me in with its premise and started out great. Overall, it was an enjoyable read. I found it had a bit to much of the will I won't I early on/midway in the book, and kind of just glossed over the issues that came up during the story, these could have been developed a bit more. The characters were likable, but again, I felt we could have had more interactions and development of the relationship, rather than just more spice.

I wanted to give this a higher rating. I wanted to like it. I love a good reverse harem and brother’s best friends is even better, not to mention firefighters. And if I DID end up enjoying it, there are two or three books that follow it.
Honestly, though, it was hard. This book could REALLY benefit from a good editor. It was pretty obvious that the author wrote the book out of order, which is fine, but then you need to be really meticulous when you go to edit it. There were so many scenes and lines and actions that gave the impression that the four of them had never had sex, when in fact they had sex right at the beginning of the relationship. Lila was always talking about if she should date all three, be with all three, when they had already established she would.
The spice in it was also very disjointed. I could never tell where anyone was in the space and the first time they all slept together, it started midway through. I genuinely thought I had missed a chapter.
I liked the premise of this book, and I do think a lot of the characters were well fleshed out (the boys especially. Lila less so.) It was just really hard to follow along.

We start off with our fmc Lila and her mischievous corgi Biscuit returning home to her small hometown where her father and brother live after being conned out of her life savings by her con man boyfriend.
While on the flight home she has an impulsive hot encounter of the mile high variety with a super-hot man sitting next to her on the plane only to find out when she lands that her sexy airplane stranger is none other than her brother’s best friend. She decides that no one needs to know and that it won't be happening again.
Unfortunately for Lila though her brother has planned a ski trip weekend for him and the other firefighters and her brothers 3 super sexy firefighter best friends and has invited her on the trip. Stranded in a snowed-in cabin with the 3 men Lila fights herself in a super sexy situation that one could only dream of but also, she is scared of the feelings that this is stirring up and that she can kind of see the 3 men's faces.
❤️ Jaxon, Bold, Confident, and Broody
❤️ Colt, Mr December hottie, Jokester.
❤️ Ryan, the quiet golden retriever.
This book has it all in my opinion. The relationship between all four of them in my opinion is perfect not that they don't have their own hang ups or issues but how they handle it and how they are dealing with their emotions and supporting one another and making sure they are all on the same page is what makes this reverse harem top tier.
This book isn't just all spice it has emotion and sweetness, but also genuine connections and not just the relationship with Lila and the 3 men but also Lila's relationship with her supportive sweet father and her relationship with her brother that goes through some rough patches.
Final verdict?
This is a spicy sweet reverse harem that had me wanting more It also had me wanting a cute mischievous corgi name biscuit as well lol.

honestly gave up 25% in. the story and character interactions didn't seem to make sense, progressed too quickly for where we were in the book and the limited interactions they had. it was almost as if important, dialogue, inner thoughts or background links had been cut out.
she meets the first best friend on the plane they dont know wacb other and they end up joining the mile high club. they get off the plane and discover who each other are.
next there is a dinner at the fmcs house woth her family and the 3 best friends.
bit of awkwardness for plane guy and fmc, amd then out of nowhere she's flirting with one of the others, he plays footsie under the table, she feels awkward so leaves the table he follows her and kisses her.
she's invited on a big trip with everyone, which she feels awkward about and says she feels pulled in two directions by plane guy and footsie guy, yet the interactions above are all that you have seen between them, what happened to make her feel pulled between them?
next interaction is with the last of the friends, she's riding with him and footsie guy (who is asleep) and they chat a bit and she opens up as to why she moved back home. other than that, nothing happened between them. it's his pov so you know he likes her and is trying to keep his distance.
when they get to the cabin they are staying in they realise they will be sharing a cabin together and her brother is staying with other people. she makes a big deal about it being awkward, which sure I get for plane guy and footsie guy, but don't understand why she feels like that for car guy. no indication she felt anything between them and nothing happened!
gave up at this point. normally love a why choose/reverse harem but this really fell short for me.

Picking her life back up falling for a scammer/conman lured her into handing over her savings to start what she thought was going to be her happily ever after, Lila finds herself returning back home to recover with the help of her dad and her older brother. Not realizing the connection, she makes first contact with one of his (seriously hot) friends on the flight back home. After joining the mile high club with one, she then meets 2 more of her brother's co-workers/friends & finds herself sharing a cabin with the 3 friends. Getting snowed in QUICKLY turns up the heat on the development of a RH situation with all of them.
While I thought this was a quick/easy read, I struggled with the relationship since I felt like the backstory of the 3 men in Lila's life was pretty non-existent, and the development of each one's individual relationship with Lila. I'll give kudos to the story not falling back on the tired conflict because there's no communication between any of the MCs - because one thing I truly appreciated was them openly addressing the relationship situation among the 3 men and Lila and being very mature about it all.
I did feel like the story fell a little short because there were so many places that felt unfinished, especially the ex that swindled her out of all her money then decided he needed to show back up in her life because she reacted the way most people probably would if they ever got conned....
I don't think this book was great, but it was okay & I will check out other books by this author since it looks like this may be her first or one of her first books.

Ok, the title and the cover don’t scream RH, and it LOOKS like it’ll be a fun read, so already a win there.
Poor Lila had been taken for a ride by her ex, so to get over him, she *gets under someone else*. Lila and Jaxon’s banter
was top notch, and the shift to serious flirting was super smooth. I had to do a quick double check that I hadn’t missed a chapter because it got hot fast! Whew…
The author spent a lot of time building each relationship and I’m seriously thankful for it. I got to know the characters and I truly became invested in their HEA. I hurt for Lila so much, and personally, if she ever had to choose only one, my early choice would be Ryan - he’s such a sweetie. I did not picture Jaxon as OTT OP - made me giggle every time!
I don’t think I can do this book justice - it was emotional, quirky, humorous and fun. The growth of their relationship was one thing, but you could feel how torn she was about risking her relationship with her brother. Please tell me we'll be revisiting this town again, because I see a few characters that I wouldn't mind getting their own stories....
And I was right, this was a fun read, emotional yes, but still fun. I’ve read a lot of RH, and some I absolutely cringe at - low plot, high smut (they have their time and place…), but this is my first by Lacey Day and the way it was written puts it easily in my top 10.

🔥 Three Firemen, One Cabin, and a Whole Lot of Heat
Snowed in? More like snowed under... by desire.
If you’re looking for a steamy, laugh-out-loud, no-apologies reverse harem romance, this book is your next guilty pleasure. It begins with heartbreak, takes a detour into the mile-high club, and crash-lands straight into a blizzard of firemen, flirtation, and fiery passion.
Our heroine? Recently robbed and freshly dumped, she's not here to play it safe—and thank goodness for that. One impulsive (and very public) encounter later, she discovers her sexy airplane stranger is none other than her brother’s best friend. Oops. And it only gets hotter from there.
Stranded in a snowed-in cabin with three off-limits, mouthwateringly handsome firefighters—each with his own irresistible charm—she finds herself in the kind of steamy trouble most of us only read about... or fantasize over.
✨ Jaxon, the sky-high seducer with a smirk.
✨ Colt, the rugged protector with biceps and brooding.
✨ Ryan, the golden-hearted flirt who keeps things hot and hilarious.
Together, they ignite more than just a cozy fire.
This book is pure escapism at its finest—equal parts dirty talk, delicious tension, and heart. Despite the heat, there’s also genuine emotion and unexpected sweetness tucked between the spicy scenes.
Final verdict?
Sexy. Funny. Addictive.
This snowed-in fantasy will have you turning pages with flushed cheeks and zero regrets.

Lila’s Adventures . . .
Relying on a dating app, Lila met a guy and was actually surprised when things didn’t go well. Her now ex-boyfriend Rick Vaughn had convinced her they should buy a house together, so she sent him her entire savings then flew over to meet him. But he never showed up… nor did her money get returned. So her cure to get over this awful shock was to select a fellow passenger on the flight home, Jaxon Reed, and become a member of the mile-high club. And when her brother Nate picked her up at the airport, uh… Jaxon stowed his bags in the trunk with hers. Apparently he’s a fireman and knows her brother Nate. And that was evidently just a warm-up for her, because after being invited to join the firehouse ski trip, Lila continued her adventure in a cabin with three sexy firefighters who made sharing look easy. Nate gave her his spot in the cabin with the three guys since she already knew Jaxon. And Nate instead went next door to the bigger one with the other guys. When a blizzard snows you in, what’s a poor girl to do to keep warm? By now, we already have met Jaxon, our super-confident buddy from the airplane. Then we add two more to the cabin adventure -- Colt and Ryan. And since she can’t choose only one, she’ll keep them all. At least everyone should be warm and cuddly on this trip!

For me this was a 3.5-4⭐️ read.
The beginning was a solid start. Loved meet Jaxson and Lila before we knew their connection to each other, and then watching them learn that in the middle of the airport, was actually quite fun.
Loved Colt, Jaxson and Ryan, these three had very different personalities and that was clear the moment we met each of th. The one thing that they all do have in common is how fiercely they want to cherish and protect Lila. I was a little
More forgiving of their back and forth behavior. They were trying to figure out their feelings, and respecting Lila’s and managing to keep it from Noah, its a lot Andi think I am a little more forgiving of this from them.
Lila was a strong start, she has gone through some
Life changing events, and that has caused her to feel disconnected and bruised her self-worth. But for me there became moments when she was too in her head. And I get what she was getting to was not something easily acceptable, but the back and forth became repetitive.
The other thing that threw me was the return of the Ex. If felt out of the blue. I think if the texts and letters were a little more consistent before the 50% mark this plot line would have made more sense, but that is just my opinion.

Initially, I was sunk into this book just fine but then something disrupted the flow that I can't put my finger on. Still enjoyed just not as much as the previous book.
My thoughts on RH vs why choose. I see it more as RH having more of a cohesive group and an expectation of or inclination toward a poly relationship. While why-choose is more a bunch of individuals who may or may not know each other who choose a potential poly relationship with more bumps in the road as they explore the option and what their expectations and comfort level will be. Basically, in the former group, most characters have already explored thoughts and expectations so it is just a matter of smoothing out the details. While the latter group has more variables to work through.
That being said, this is certainly a why-choose. The male characters know each other well but don't have expectations of a poly relationship and the female character only knows them indirectly.
There are a couple of plot points that had me shaking my head that disrupted my enjoyment. My headspace wouldn't allow me to let it go but at a different time it might not have bothered me so say 3.5 rounded up.

I really loved this story. Lila’s confusion and the men’s singe-mindedness make for a lot of surprises. Then there is her brother’s reaction learning the truth when Lila is being blackmailed!
Lila Harper returns home after her ex, Ricky, stole her savings and ditched her.
On her flight home she meets a stranger named Jaxon and flames ignite. She even joined the Mile High Club. Then she discovers at baggage claim that Jaxon works with and is one of her brother’s best friends.
Returning to her childhood home to live with her Dad and overprotective brother is very awkward. She a shell of her former self, unsure of herself. Then she meets her brother’s other two best friends, Colt and Ryan. Colt is charming her and Ryan makes her feel safe and whole. What is she going to do?
Getting snowed in at a mountain cabin with three guys is unsettling as they all want her attention.
After receiving threatening texts, Lila gets photos of herself with the guys. Who is following her and is out to destroy her?
Will she be safe? Will she have the loves she wants and needs?.

1.5⭐
This was such a chaotic read and very reminiscent of a Wattpad work. It's just one where you would want to turn off your brain and just read for funsies. The instalove was strong for all 3 MMCs but the sexual tension between them didn't feel genuine. The book was actually fine up until the 3 guys turned into love interests. It was really going great when they were just besties. The MMCs all felt very disconnected from each other once the "sexual tension" started and I didn't feel any chemistry between them. It was like they all just stand on their own and have standoffish sex together once in a while. It also went from "We're competing for her" to "Let's all have sex together" WAY too suddenly. No way are these men who are jealously at each other's throats just moments ago so open to sharing a woman so randomly. Surely they need even a minute just to think about it.
The plot was pretty scattered, the spice was weird (again, it felt very separated) and the drama was over-the-top ridiculous. This 1.5⭐ is solely for Biscuit. He was the shining ray of light in this book and the only one who made sense.

Great first draft
The summary of this book makes sense, overall, but it's hard to follow, and there's a significant amount of inference involved. It's not a bad story, but people didn't react how I'd expected them to, the villain was a stretch - both how he acted and what the ramifications for the guys would've been, and I was constantly correcting who was talking. Time doesn't make sense (making breakfast, bedroom scene, morning again?), everyone falls in love in a matter of weeks, and she mixes up which of the guys did what ("his kiss was different than before"; proceeds to describe their first kiss, again). Bedroom scenes were rushed and vague, like the steam was in the way of the story, and there's almost no after care or cuddling. Just sayin', if I had 3 guys, one of them would always be touching me. I feel like a good beta reader could've caught most of these issues and made them make more sense. I almost want to know what happens with the rest of the town, but I'm good just looking up synopses rather than taking the time to read and decipher them myself.

This RH is a quick easy read. Lila meets a guy online who scams her and takes everything. She heads back to her small town home after a decade of being gone. On the plane home, she meets a hot guy who she has a fling with, until they land and she finds out it's her brother's friend, Jaxon. At dinner that same night, brothers Colt and Ryan also set their sights on Lila. They know what they want, and it's her.
Overall the book was okay. I feel like there is a lot of plot that is missing. There was no leadup to Lila's ex and that whole situation. All of a sudden, her and Jaxon are hooking up on the plane, and not long after she's home, two more guys are pursuing her with zero backstory. I could also use a little more lead up to the guys all being on board with sharing since it's new for one of them.

Three hot firefighters , yes please
Things are no so easy for Lila, after a rough breakup, she is still trying to figure out what she really wants.
These lovable, hunky firefighters were so different but they all have one thing in common: They all want Lila. Jaxon is funny and full of confidence. Ryan is the quiet and protective type. Colt is just oozing charm. There is definitely some jealously between the guys but they remain loyal to her.
Stuck with my Brother's Firefighter Besties was my first reverse-harem romance and it did not disappoint. It was sweet, funny, and steamy with a splash of suspense. I kept wondering what big brother Nate would do when he found out. Loved the fighter fighter calendar scenes. This book is perfect for anyone who loves a sizzling, off-limits romance.

The story is good but poorly handled...
The connection with Jaxon was genuine, a one-time affair but with Colt and Ryan it was a bit forced, As I said, from one moment to the next everything changes, a dinner goes by and everyone falls in love, they introduce you to the other two characters, but then everything is different Colt can't stand it anymore and everyone expresses their feelings and offers a Why choose
honestly I felt that it changed everyone's personality Jaxon from the airport someone flirtatious charismatic sure I pass to someone quiet bitter, Colt presented him as someone calm and confident, but he ended up being someone who acts without thinking, the flirtatious funny, and Ryan was the funny Golden Retriever, the soul of a child and ended up being the quietest and most calculating.

Disappointed
This started so good, like I was instantly hooked and wizzing through it, then it was like the plot got forgotten and new weird one entered the game. At about 50 percent it just stopped making sense, the original idea seemed very centered around the fmc finding love again after being duped, but then it switched to a weird stalker plot where the con artist was back in the picture and wanting her again. It really just fell flat at this point and I found myself skimming, even the spice was mediocre and didn't save it. At times I felt like the men's personalities weren't consistent either, I found myself flipping back trying to figure out exactly who I was suppose to be reading, it was beyond frustrating. I have the others on my tbr as a few of them looked promising but now I'm not so sure. I might try them again one day, but for now its a no.

Lacey Day made this small town, brothers best friends romance a fun book. There's one heartbroken and jilted FMC, 3 forbidden, protective firemen, and a mischievous corgi.
Lila comes back to town after years away. She ends up meeting her brothers friends and fellow firefighters. They all seem to have an instant attraction to each other. While she's trying to avoid her attraction to Jaxon, Colt, and Ryan, they're trying to avoid their attraction to her. They know she's going through a tough time, and her brother is their best friend.
So what could go wrong when her brother invites her to along on a skiing trip where she has to share a cabin with all three guys? Add in a snowstorm, and not even the firefighters can avoid the heat.

Entertaining at first but then I got really bored :(
I had some great expectations for the book, mainly because I love tropes that was marketed and they all hit really good. But after that, there wasn't really any strings that were pulling any of my interests.

I thought this book was a fun spicy quick read. Lila had a bit of bad luck she meets a guy online who becomes her boyfriend and he steals everything from her. So she heads back to her small home town after being gone for years. On the plane home, she meets a hot guy named Jaxson and follows hime into the bathroom to join the mile high club. What better way to wash away your troubles. Turns out Jaxson is one of her brothers firefighter friends. Lila soon finds out her brother has alot of hot firefighter friends and they all have claimed her. This is a fun why choose romance with forced proximity that was very charming and a quick read. Perfect for a day trip beach read.

Lacked Depth
Decent plot overall, but there was no history given on any of the characters. The lack of character development killed the book for me and I almost DNF around 40%. I ended up skimming the remainder of the book just to finish the story. Like I said, a decent plot, but it could have been summed up in the same length as a couple chapters and you wouldn't have missed anything. TBH, some parts gave me secondhand embarrassment, and if the characters were given anything more than a name, occupation, and being either family or romantic relationship towards FMC it might not have been so cringe at those parts.

This book had all the ingredients for a fun light-hearted why choose. With 3 hot firemen that are so swoony. I loved the rom-com vibes as well as the steam.
Lila has to move back to her small town after her ex stole everything from her.
She meets her brother's best friends, which all happen to work with him and are firemen.
Jaxon, Colt, and Ryan all want to claim her, so they all decide to share.
This was a fun read with plenty of laughs, swoon, and steamy moments.

Loved the Idea
While I did love the idea behind this book and story, a few things were off. The timeline and details behind Lila being away for 10 years didn't add up. Lila apparently had been gone for 10 years and never met Jaxon before but the way Nate, Colt and Ryan talked made it seem like they all knew her for a while. Then, the way Samantha was portrayed had me weary about the honesty in her friendship. None of that was a deal breaker, though. I loved the guys and Lila and the suspense that came with the ex boyfriend.

This book was an enjoyable read. Lila came home after some problems in the city. Little did she know that she would end up sharing something real with one of her brothers best friends on the flight home. Jaxon, Colt, and Ryan are amazing men. They all complement each other in all aspects of their lives. They all fall for each other and help protect each other from the problems that arise, from the stress of the job, to the ex that followed her from the city to her home town.

The story had intrigue...
The indecision and worry about what other people think is a popular storyline, but it's extremely boring to me.
Rick was an interesting wrench, and his reasoning was crazy.
The brothers - again, a popular writing tool, but I don't understand it.. why are these brothers so invested in the sisters' life. The father was laid back, but the brother was off the charts.
Im happy she finally stopped being a damsel in distress and went after what she wanted.
It ended well....
