The Brannock Siblings #3
Missing
There are two things in this life that Gus Brannock truly loves; his family and his job. His family is growing and he wants what his brother and sister have before the job he's worked so hard for takes its toll. The woman he's got his eye on, however, isn't interested in being with a man who risks his life every day. When the unexpected friendship with the sassy red head he used to hate turns into something Gus just doesn't want to live without, he will do whatever it takes to have her. The hazards of his job as a detective for missing children may end up proving to be too much, but there's a reason Aiden was brought into his life and nothing will stand in his way to keep her there. Aiden Murphy used to hate the handsome jerk next door until a surprising discovery spun her world in another direction. Her life of devotion to her sister and niece has been her biggest strength with the exception of her art. That is, until Gus turns out to be the one thing that has been missing from that life all along. Aiden must decide if the unknown is worth the risk of loving the dedicated detective or if being pulled into his world is more than she can handle. When Gus becomes the only way for her to keep the people she loves most safe, will she understand why he treasures her untried strength or will she let her fear of the unknown decide for her?

About the author
Jessica Wilde
14 books410 followersI live in Morgan, Utah with my husband, beautiful daughter, and a couple of spoiled pups. If I'm not deeply involved in writing my next book, then I'm probably reading in the safety and quiet of my closet. I love yoga – which I now practice regularly – playing hide and seek with my daughter (only to have my hiding spots revealed by one of the pups), and I love Fruit by the Foot, Twizzlers and Peace Tea. These are great ways to bribe me into revealing secrets about what's to come.
I have an unhealthy obsession with Supernatural, The Walking Dead, and The Big Bang Theory. I also enjoy talking about them, so if you like them, too, come find me.
Writing has become an enormous part of my life and every book I write holds a special place in my heart. If you read one of my books, I hope you have the same experience.

Gus & Aiden ♥
I can'tstandback anymore and watch you live your life without me.."
Gus. FINALLY the last Brannock sibling, most anticipated, and certainly not least novel in the series. I was counting down the days for this one! After reading a preview in the last novel I knew I needed to get my hands on it as soon as possible. Thank you to the lovely Jessica Wilde who provided me with my second ARC for her extraordinary series. I'm honoured and so very thankful because I adore this series! As soon as I opened that email when I woke up I got to work. I finished devoured in merely 2 hours .. I could not put it down even for a second!!!
Her smile, her laugh, her terrible cooking and twisted sense of humor. I was gone for all of it.."
Gus and Aiden? Perfection. I love Aiden because she so perfectly unperfect. She's a horrible cook and I'd have to say I'm not that great either (not as bad though). She's hilarious and made me laugh sooo hard. Gus ... like all the other males in the series weooo holy hotness! He's so protective, charming, and alpha male (LOVE IT).
It was her I wanted to protect, to take care of, to spend the rest of my life with.."
What made it so amazing was that plot. Both Gus and Aiden can't stand one another and are looking for that special someone. Turns out they don't have to look very far (next door COUGH) because they are inevitable. They don't always get along but that's adds more depth to their love story. There are obstacles they come to face and Gus is definitely the man I would want for the job. The characters from the other novels are included which made so incredibly happy because this family ... This close knit family is so loyal to one another (LOVE IT). My words can't even do this book justice. It was beautifully written; the characters, the dialogue, and the love story. It's the perfect pace but I wouldn't have minded if it was longer? But that epilogue. Oh my oh my Jessica Wilde ... I've always adored Mr. Brannock and wondered about his love story. The fact that there's another book? Makes me ecstatic because I'm not ready for the series to end.
I just want to be there, with you, for you, against you. I want to fight with you and then say I'm sorry for being an idiot, then feel you in my arms after you forgive me for the hundredth time. I want to see every picture you take and every painting you paint and I want to be able to tell people, that's my woman. She's mine.
Add to your to read shelf and count down the days to devour this book! If you haven't yet already read the series ... Definitely missing out!!

Better than the second, but not as good as the first. I'm glad there's one more book that tells how their parents meet especially after what Liam told Gus.
October 21, 2014
Missing by Jessica Wilde is the third book in the Brannock Siblings series and it was just as good if not more so than the first two books.
A recurring theme through all of these books so far and a very important one is that the Brannocks' are all very close, and their love is given freely and unconditionally, just as their mother gave them until her death, and their father still gives them every single day. The sister, Aislann had a rough time growing up with her two brothers acting like her personal body guards, along with their "adopted by love" brother Lucas Shade, and a father who was the same way, well you get the picture- a very close loving family, who were always there for each other, even though in Asilann's case it was too much as she just wanted to live and be free from her brothers' ruining her life! Read book 1, and you will see how Aislann makes out!
Gus Brannock, like all the male members of the family, is a police detective. His specialty was finding kidnapped children, and he always went after it with everything in him to find the children. Lately they have had a few very disturbing cases where children were taken but then left to be found in a department store or elsewhere, so they were having a hard time finding this person -one thing was certain-they were working night and day to find this person, who seems to be very extremely disturbed.
Gus is a very handsome man, and he lives in a nice apartment, and he has had no problems with willing women but he is tired of that scene and wants to settle down and have a wife someday sooner rather than later, and he loves children. Seeing his brother and his sister find their life mates, he wants the same for himself. He decides to join a dating site and see if he can find someone like himself, tired of all the dating and games that are played, that wants to have a meaningful relationship. Lately with all the work he has had thrown his way he has not had time for anything else. Other than teasing his neighbor about her horrid cooking that made him sick, which he was quick to point out to her, and feels the lash of her tongue and hatefulness, that is the whole interactions he has had. His neighbor is a beautiful woman, but it is obvious she despises him.
Aiden Murphy is the single woman who lives next door to that "jerk", Gus. She can't believe how such a handsome man can be such a jerk! They have their moments of going round and round and one morning he has just gotten home and there is so much noise and banging going on next door, he goes over there to tell her off. When she opens the door, and he starts to yell, she says to him that it was her niece who is just playing. When the niece comes out- a 5 year old red-haired little beauty just like her aunt and named after her as well, his heart just melts at the sight of her, and walking back home with his head hung low he can hear the little girl giggling so happily, and it eases his heart.
Aiden is very lonely, and after watching her sister's life fall apart from her husband leaving and not wanting anything to do with their little girl, Aiden just does not even try to find someone, and she just concentrates on her sister and her little namesake. She also joins a dating site, and she finds someone to talk to and is so happy to meet this man on a real date.
There is a lot of emotional angst between Aiden and Gus in this book, and it is downright hysterical at times how they interact with each other, while everyone looks on at them knowing what those two don't-they are perfect for each other! The plot thickens with everything going on at work, and also at home. There are a couple of twists in the plot which got me emotionally involved like I was there, and my heart pounding it was that real. A couple of scenes also had me laughing hysterically when something happens, that is too comical, and hits both Aiden and Gus right in the heart! Read how these two struggle with their love lives, and watch Gus reach his breaking point and what that means for everyone!
You have to read and see what happens with Gus, his neighbor Aiden and her sister, Lily- (Little Aiden's Mom), and the niece who loves her 'Gus Gus', as she calls him, which turns him into a blubbering slave willing to do anything for this little girl. Read how the whole family rallies around Gus when he is so undone by a new case and he needs his family more than ever, and read the outcome of this awesome book. I LOVED the way this book ends, and I want more!
Jessica Wilde outdoes herself as each new book she puts out is even better than the last. I have read every one of her books now, and I know that I will be looking forward to reading all of her new books that come out in the years to come! Thank you for this book Jessica, and congratulations on another successful chapter in the lives of the Brannock family!
I gave this book a 5***** star rating!

I loooved this book!! Gus and Aiden are perfect for each other!!! This was the book that got me to read this series. It was perfect!!!
I loved these quotes:
“I was not just in love with her. I was utterly gone for her. Her smile, her laugh, her terrible cooking and twisted sense of humor. I was gone for all of it. She was who I saw each night I closed my eyes and she was all I could see when I opened them. It was her arms I wanted to fall into every day when I found myself being pulled under by the weight of my job. It was her I wanted to protect, to take care of, to spend the rest of my life with.”
“If you love this woman, I mean really love her, to the point where you forget to breathe the moment she walks into the room or every time you look at her your chest feels like it's about to cave in, then it's never too late and you never stop fighting for her. Because, brother, losing her now without doing everything in your power to keep her, without taking that chance… it will destroy you and you will spend the rest of your life thinking of that one moment you walked away, that one small moment you gave up the one thing you didn't want to live without.”
Especially this one:
“Do you like my mommy?" she asked.
Chad smiled and looked at Lily, his feelings very obvious. "I do. Very much."
"I've already done it lots but I think it would help if you laid her, too.”

Here we go , book 3 , time for some GUS !! I loved the sneak peek of this at the end of Conned. I knew the banter between Gus and the neighbor was going to lead to some fun. I also couldn't wait to find out more about Gus and his mystery girl he met on the computer , they are having a great time getting to know each other. Right from the start I was curious as to how the rest of the Brannock family was going to fit in since Gus lives in Detroit and a majority of the time he spends with them is on the phone. I really enjoy the family dynamic in these stories so I was hoping there would be more of that , I had complete faith Jessica would make it work !!
Gus has a difficult job , he works as a detective dealing with missing children cases. His hours are crazy and he depends on his sleep during the day , this is impossible with all the loud music and noise coming from his neighbors apartment across the hall. He has had issues with this fiery red head all along an they have pulled some funny pranks and had some words with each other. We the readers can see this is that typical love/hate relationship. The sexual tension is strong and the desire is right out in the open but they both deny that. After he had had enough of the loud music this one morning he heads over to Aiden's and much to his surprise finds out the responsible party is not Aiden but her niece Lil-Aidy. A spitting image of her aunt and such a cute girl she wins Gus' heart right on the spot !!
Aiden is an artist but in her spare time , all the time , she watches her niece so her sister can work to support her and her daughter now that she is divorced and on her own. Her sister Lily had a bad marriage and the issues she faced have made Aiden anti- relationship. Lily's ex Brandon is a piece of work , he attempts to make an appearance in the story and it is heartbreaking. I would love more of their story. Their past , what happened , what the future brings.
There is quite a bit to this story. Both Aiden and Gus have been chatting with people over text that they have yet to meet , LOL , you can see where that is going. Without any spoilers I will say hold on tight for a wild rollercoaster ride of emotions , action and drama. Missing children , exes , crazy tech guys , hot sex and new love. Gus and Aiden are super hot together and I enjoyed their journey outside of all the craziness !! There is a major event that brings the Brannock family to Gus and we get to enjoy their presence for a bit and feel the love and devotion they share. I am so excited for the next book !! I know it will be heartbreaking but I cannot wait to see where this family started out !!
I am so happy I was able to Facebook meet Jessica !! I have enjoyed her books and I cannot wait to read more from her. These books have the right amount of hot , drama and suspense to keep you hooked and fulfilled.

Missing is the third Book in The Brannock Siblings Series. The series started off giving us Ash and Lucas’ story. Which I was captivated by and new I had to continue the series. I was thrilled that Conned was already out, so I one clicked and continue to fall in love with this family even more. In Conned we got Conall and Emily’s’ story. So when Missing was released I knew I was going to one click! I loved Ash and Conned, but I knew Gus’ story would be extraordinary.
Gus, Oh Gus…. Let me see where to start with him. Being over 6 feet, with his skin that looks smooth to the touch, deep dark chocolate colored hair, and light blue eyes with a grey tone to them. Yes Gus is Gorgeous. So anyways, enough about this hot man we get to read about, I’ll tell you a little bit about the book and why I loved it.
Gus is a detective for missing children. This doesn’t leave him much time to himself to have much of a personal life. He goes to work and puts his all into all of his cases. He can’t stand the thought of a child missing from their parents. So when the newest case he’s working seems off and the kidnappers are actually taunting him, Gus knows there is more to this case than a normal missing child case.
I knew I would Love Gus’ story. A man that has devoted his life to saving children and will stop at nothing to ensure they are safe and even his own family protected. The relationship between Gus and his neighbor Aiden was passionate. Even when they tried spouting angry words at each other, I could just feel the chemistry radiating between them. Their relationship is definitely unique and I knew something big was going to have to happen between them to make Aiden change her mind. I was high strung while reading, I was literally a nervous wreck while reading through the scenes. And found myself yelling out loud. I just couldn’t contain my thoughts. Yes it was that good. I definitely recommend picking this one up. If you haven’t started the series, I suggest start reading with Leverage (Aislinn’s story). You will not be disappointed. And to find out we get more. EEEK!!! CAN’T WAIT to read Liam’s story now!! I am a true follower to Jessica Wilde’s work every since I read Leverage, and if anything I love her writing even more now! I am hooked for life and I am excited to see what other stories she brings us.

Missing
(The Brannock Siblings)
By:Jessica Wilde
♡♡♡♡ 1/2
Oh Gus Gus! I didnt think that I could love Ferguson more than I loved Con Brannock but I do!
This story is truly one to melt your heart. It shows the true connection between two people who were "enemies" but were the perfect match to each other.
Gus Brannock is a detective in the Missing persons unit. He focuses his time with missing children. He lives and breathes his work. So, with no time he decides to join an online dating site. That was the best decision he made, as he found the only girl that makes his heart flutter. He truly falls head over heels in love with girl and finally decides it time to meet her.
Aiden Murphy is a sassy artist. She absolutely loves her family and is dedicated to them 100%. She is close to her sister Lily and her niece Little Aiden. She loves her life yet the only negative she has in it is her hot sexy neighbor Gus Brannock. She finds him so hot but yet they have a strained relationship. She tried to be nice and bake him cookies once, but she is an awful cook so they didnt turn out well. Gus didnt keep that point to himself he made sure to confirm that her cookies were horrible.
The relationship between the two is hilarious, especially when they find that the online relationship they had was with each other.
There is so much love within this story it makes your heart swell. When you see the love Gus feels toward Aiden and her family it brings a smile to your face. The family bond that binds the Brannocks and the way they will always be there for one another brings a tear to your eye. Like I said this story tackles all of your emotions.
If you havent fell in love with Lucas or Con go buy the series NOW as Gus is just as dreamy. This is a great series that has to be added to your TBR list. I can not wait to read the prequel. The story of Mr. and Mrs. Brannock. The two rocks who taught their children how to love and instilled all of their values.

This story is good! This is a story of enemies-to-lovers and about unconditional love among family members. I've read the whole series of Jessica Wilde's The Brannock Siblings, and I prefer Missing (The Brannock Siblings #3) to Conned (The Brannock Siblings #2), though I still love Leverage (The Brannock Siblings #1) most. I not only love the way the Brannock siblings make fun of each other but also their devotion to each other whenever one of them need help.
Although Gus and Aiden hate each other at first due to their interaction as neighbor, the tension between them can be regarded as foreplay. I love the way Gus finally declares his love to Aiden,
I also love the anxiety when you know danger is approaching but not sure when and how. This makes reading book more exciting.
Anticipate Ms. Jessica Wilde's next book of the series. It's about The Brannock Siblings' parents. It seems to be some dark but emotional story. Hope there's NO sexual abuse!Plz!

I want to fight with you and then say I'm sorry for being an idiot, then feel you in my arms after you forgive me for the hundredth time . . . I want to be the man that loves you more and more every day, for the rest of your life. Even longer. Let me be that man, Aiden.

3.75 solid stars bumping to 4 outstanding Brannock Sibling stars! My favorite of the series is still the first book, Leverage. This is a very close second. Fergus, aka Gus Gus, is the middle sibling in the Brannock family and probably the most colorful. Hey, he had to stand out somehow! His personality shines in the first two books. In Missing, the story is all about him, so he absolutely shines.
To say that he and Aiden get off to a rocky start is an understatement. They absolutely and positively HATE each other. They have spent months hating each other. No way does Aiden even compare to the online girl Fergus has been in contact with. Gus? Yeah, he's not even close to the sensitive and funny guy Aiden has been contacting online. Two very different people who set off sparks in whatever room they happen to be in when they are together.
Fergus has just made detective in a special unit dealing with kidnapping victims in Detroit. He is one of the best. Aiden is an aspiring artist, a little (ok, a lot) quirky, and totally dedicated to her sister and niece. The number one priority for each of them is family, they would do anything for them. As their relationship changes from hate to something else, Aiden must decide if she can relax one of her rules about relationships. Fergus has no hesitation, but he has to convince Aiden to see things his way. When his job has the potential of putting them both in danger how will Aiden react?
This is a quick and entertaining read with lots of humor, a moderate amount of suspense, and a coming together of the Brannock siblings which is always a fun time. Really like this series!

I really enjoyed this book. Up until 4 AM in order to finish it... but I could not put it down.
First of all, it is a love story with a "smirk and wink". Aiden and Gus are really meant for each other. The fact that they are neighbors and are forever feuding, only means this couple enjoys a different kind of foreplay, because their chemistry is palpable.
Second, it is a story about the most horrific crime feared by all responsible parents... the abduction of a child. Gus is a cop in the missing persons division. This is a job he loves because he loves children and is very protective of them. He prides himself on the fact that he has never lost one... and he is not about to start now, no matter how distracted he is with his attraction to the redhead next door.
Finally, it is a story about family and what it means to love them above everything else. The love and support they share is intrinsic to all the characters in this book now related to the Brannock family. It teaches that nurturing and protecting your family is the safe haven that lasts forever and pays forward.
This book is thrilling. The mystery that runs as the undercurrent throughout of who is abducting these children simmers in the background like a pulse. As our story progresses, the simmer crescendos to a boil and you will not be able to put it down until all is resolved.

After seeing the joy that his brother and sister have now that they have their significant other, Gus feels the need to search for that special someone but with his hectic work schedule and no longer desiring the player life, he joins a dating site. What amazed him the most was finding the one he feels that has become his best friend but he has yet to meet or see a photo of. While their relationship grows he is also having to deal with an irritating but beautiful red head Aiden that moved in next door to him. Gus and Aiden have many things in common but the main thing is that they put family before themselves and before all else. Too bad they also have a knack for getting on each other's nerves.
You have to read to see just how much drama can become from ex's, botched dates, family, dating, and intense open investigations.
I laughed, cried, and even got mad at parts. All those things make this a good book. Note that it is best to read this series in order because while they each are about a different couple, the books intermingle the characters. Family is family. Not always blood that makes a person family.

Wow! I loved every minute of this amazing book. Gus is hot, sweet, sexy, and a smart ass. Reading about him and Aiden going back and forth at the beginning had me laughing so hard. I loved the banter and pranks between them. Aiden/Red is a smart and sassy firecracker. She's quick on her comebacks and is perfect for Gus. Watching these two grow closer together even with a bump in the road was fun. I even teared up a few times. I loved these two. There was one part during the story that had my heart exploding and putting Gus above his brothers on my favorites list. He is absolutely amazing.
I love the Brannock family. They are awesome. When someone is in trouble they all come running without question. They hold their family above anything else and they welcome people with open arms. I can't wait to read Protector to see what happens next.
I have to admit that the Epilogue killed me. Tears poured out of my eyes as I read it. And I don't know why because believe me it wasn't sad, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Liam.

I love this series! I love getting to know the Brannocks better in each book.
This book had a lot of action and plenty of hold your breath moments. Lots of heat and a whole lot of love.
I love that this author writes strong characters who are not afraid to be who they are...they feel real and not overdone.
Fergus Brannock knows there is something missing in his life, knows that he's missing the love of a good woman. What or WHO he finally finds is the person he least expected to. Once it's finally realized, though, he's determined to make it happen.
Aiden isn't getting any younger and, while she is aware of this, the most important people in her life are her sister and niece. She won't allow anyone to come between her and them even if it means that she may not be completely satisfied in the life she is living.
What neither of them realizes is that they actually need one another. After a time, friendship is natural between them. will it be enough???
Danger, surprises, laughs, and tears...you'll find it all in this book.

I love this series. Gus Brannock is super hot. The love/hate relationship Gus and Aiden have is hilarious and very well written. Aidy is so adorable and personifies a typical smart ass 5 year old. It was obvious form the beginning that little Aidy was going to be taken. However, I was quite surprised to find out who took her and why she was chosen.
This series is so heartfelt and steamy. I enjoy how each sibling is present in the entire series. The way the Brannock siblings and their significant others envelop each new family member is truly special. This installment gives us a bit of back story for Liam and Isabelle and leads in nicely to the next installment of the series.

Gus Gus and Red
"He told me my cookies tasted like packing peanuts and when he was and I quote 'ready to die' he would 'keep me in mind'. He's a total douche." -Aiden
Aiden rocks! She's a girl after my own heart and I can't get enough of her sass!
Fergus (Gus) is the younger hot and funny Brannock brother. He's had a few run-ins with his neighbor Aiden. He actually enjoys tormenting her because it lights a fire in her and that's when he calls her by the name "Red" which just aggravates her more. These two have good chemistry and I enjoyed the wit between them. This is a story about how some things are just meant to happen rather you fight it or not.

This is the third book in the Brannock series and I have to say that I am enjoying the way each one seems to improve with the little twists and turns that are involved. It seems that there were a few extra spins in this story. The whole book seemed to be very well thought out and planned with the smallest of details so it all came nice and gradually and left me with a feeling of completeness. Other than the next book it seems as if everything that was supposed to be mentioned in this one was mentioned and more. I was very happy to see how things worked out and the personalities of each character. Even little Aidy was a huge delight when called upon.

This by far has to be one of my favorites by Jessica Wilde. I couldn't put this book down, its very well written and one thing is for sure is that I will be able to read this series over and over. I can't wait for book four to come out. The characters are very well written and you couldn't help but feel connected to the characters well done Jessica.

Gus: smoking hot, snarky super-cop who finds missing children. Red: sassy, strong artist with an adorable niece. They are a match made in heaven. Loved these characters and their fiery quips. The whole series has been a joy to read. Gearing up for the last book, Protector, this weekend. I'll be sad when it's over.

Gus-Gus and Red. They fell hard and took me with them.
Gus is fierce, but patient. Aiden is feisty, yet timid. Those mixtures mesh so well together in this couple and their journey. It's not all roses, and you will see them fight for what matters. Surrender to their love and overcome tragedy none should ever endure. All while they have the entire family supporting them.

Gus & Aiden's chase was fun.
i loved catching up with Luke & Aislinn as well as Con & Emily.
i also enjoyed Liam's quiet musings to his wife Isabelle about their children & the choices they've made.

I have a huge weakness when it comes to alphas and little kids. Gus and Aiden's relationship was awesome from the very beginning. Love the Brannocks and their banter, love and loyalty to family.

Missing (Book 3 of The Brannock Siblings series) was so captivating that I read the whole book in one sitting. Jessica Wilde knew exactly how to tap into every emotion I had and had me both, laughing and crying. The suspense and mystery in parts of this book had me glued to the edge of my seat and I was completely and utterly engrossed from page one.
Fergus "Gus" Brannock cares about two things in his life and that is his family and his job as a missing persons detective. He's been known to be the biggest player of his siblings but after seeing them both settle down and fall in love, he can't help but want the same for himself.
Aiden Murphy, or Red, as Gus calls her, is also passionate about her work and her family, who she would give up anything for. She spends a good bit of her time watching her niece, Aidy and dealing with Gus, the neighbor she hates just as much as he hates her. But after an unexpected surprise, neither of the neighbors are quite so sure they hate each other as much as they thought.
Aiden decides it is best to try and be friends but Gus isn't going to give up so easily after learning the shocking news. Neither of them expected to be the missing piece in each other's lives and neither of them expected what was to come. Can Gus convince his Red that they were made for each other or will Aiden let the fear and worry of Gus' job stop her from giving herself to him fully?
I highly recommend Missing by Jessica Wilde and believe you'll love the Brannocks as much as I do! Gus and Aiden's story is comical, suspenseful, and romantic. It is full of sexual tension, wittiness, and it will keep you guessing the entire time!

First I'll start with my grievances cause I don't have many.... I have a huge pet peeve with girls that have boy names. It irks me, like nails down a chalk board. I cringed every time I read her name. I know a lot of people think it's cute, but I find it extremely irritating and it did distract me occasionally while reading. There have been a lot of books that I chose not to read because of it, and had this been the first of the series I probably would have skipped them all, but I got hooked on the first and decided to follow it through. Now on to what I did like.... :)
I liked Gus, he was charming and funny, sweet with a side of a**hole (but the good kind that keeps things fresh and fun, not the kind that will make you want to hold a pillow over his face while he sleeps, kind....did I say that out loud?! *blinks innocently*) She (Seriously, I can't say her name…) was a fun character and I enjoyed their banter in the beginning. The writing was good, the crime was better in this book than the second, it flowed well and the plot was steady. The relationship grew steadily too, it took a long time for them to get together, but that’s not always a bad thing. And when they did *fans self* whoa! MmmMmmMmmm…Gus Gus is giving Lucas a run for his money for my Book Boyfriend position! Gus is a close second….the first book and Luke is still my favourite.
The family interaction from all the books are probably my favourite parts, I like the banter and bicker between them all. A conclusion book with them all together would be fun. :)
In a nutshell…great series so far.
