A Midwesterner and self-proclaimed nerd, Evan has been an avid reader most of her life, but five years ago got bit by the writing bug, and it quickly became her addiction, passion and therapy. When the voices in her head give it a rest, she can always be found with her e-reader in her hand. Some of her favorites include, Shayla Black, Jaci Burton, Madeline Sheehan and Jamie Mcguire. Evan finds a lot of her inspiration in music, so if you see her wearing her headphones you know she means business and is in the zone.
During the day Evan works for a large homecare agency and at night she’s superwoman. She’s a wife to Jim and a mom to Ethan and Evan, a cook, a tutor, a friend and a writer. How does she do it? She’ll never tell.

She went away and didn't even go home for six years. Now an older brother was getting deployed. Their lives are not easy when there happens to be a bad guy wanting her. Will they get their happy ending?
The next book is about her older brother, Dustin, who has fallen in love with her best friend, Stacy. When the story starts out with her finding out that her boyfriend, an undercover agent, had a wife and children. She kicks him out. But he was a violent man who hurts her. When Dustin finds out he is there for her. Even though the other guy is out there and wants blood. What happens next is the rest of the story.
Next is the other brother,twin, Dylan. What happens when he comes back from his deployment. And Journey the woman he lied to and when he finds out that he is a father how that all turns out. And how when things turn dark that will he stuck around or run for the hills?
The last book is about Cash and his journey to find someone to love. Tessa has had her own violent childhood. With his demons called addiction and her being abused by her father can these two damaged souls find out that together they can heal?

Good
I really liked this book. But I think Abby needed to be a bigger part. I didn’t love how it played out for her or the H. But I did like the H and h together.
