I was a bit disappointed. I was hoping to see the men get to spend more time together, especially after them moving forward in the last book. There was a lot of time spent in therapy sessions, and I was sad to see that Mitch seemed to pull away from Danny again even knowing how much he needed him. Amber was still horrible, but I was glad to see the Damon storyline wrapped up. The ending felt a bit rushed to me and Danny still has a long way to go. I think I was just expecting a different story.
I waited till reading this book to write a review. I think it is the last book in the series, I am sad to say. I loved reading about these five men. They each had their own quirks and character traits that worked in their relationship.
I wasn't sure after reading the first book that I was going to love this series. There was a lot of spanking. Some of it I thought was unjustified. I think their were times that Mitch could have been a better listener. I think reading to the end showed me that all the characters had learning to do and things to change about themselves. The author did a good job of making these changes smooth and believable.
I felt terrible for both Danny and Ricky. It was sad reading about their abuse and the trouble they had resolving issues surrounding that abuse. I also found myself feeling bad for Damon. I know he wasn't the best character, but his problems made me feel bad for him.
All in all, I can say that this is a really good series. I loved it. I know it is one I'll read again.
I just have to start off with saying I was not a fan of Amber. She took such liberties with Danny and refused to see her affect on him.
Though Mitch pushing Danny away, thinking he had good reason to do so and all the while not seeing what it did to his boy caused such annoyance with me. For someone who was suppose to read his boys so well, he couldn't spot him spiralling or seeing the effects of drug use.
Damon was an interesting character, he had hidden layers which slowly was revealed. It was difficult as a reader to know where he stood, much like he didn't know himself.
Even with all the struggles the men go through, there is plenty of funny scenes as well, I like the added humour, which shows it's light even at the darkest parts.
I loved this series. I was completely able to get into the mindset of each character. These books really made me laugh. And cry. And cry I did. Damon's story is rather ... Tragically awkward. Poor Jason! Amber is still playing the devils advocate when it come to a vulnerable Danny. Flashbacks, therapy, crystals, sobriety, dreams. A death that brings troubling times for Ricky. A terrifying meeting for Danny. TJ is almost torn between his youngest lover and his niece. Troublesome times for Mitch and Antonio. The daddies. I'm glad to see Amber move on. As always, the sex scenes are hot. Punishment scenes are no so harsh. They find DD is acceptable in their type of relationship.
I absolutely adore the "spinning bears." For me, at the beginning of the series, Danny's Bears were his only friends as a child. Once older, they taunted him in dreams. As time passes, and the 5 men become committed to each other, the bears no longer symbolize Danny's fears of loneliness and abuse. The 4 bears become Mitch, Antonio, TJ, and Ricky. Yes, I wholeheartedly believe they will catch him.
If no more installments, then I'll be satisfied. Of course, I think all of us would be excited to see the 5 men in the future.
