I absolutely loved this story, everything about it. Asa and Jude are perfect together, even when they don’t like each other very much and sweet little Billy is adorably funny and lovable! It was the right balance of snark, heat, humor, romance, and seriousness. Jude had me laughing so much with his banter and snark that I probably had people staring at me and didn’t even realize it because I would always realize too late that I was actually laughing out loud. The speed of the romance was perfect, not too fast and not too slow which is extremely hard to find. I personally like everything from insta-love to slow burn as long as it fits the story and in this case neither end of the spectrum would have worked so the pace the author took was fantastic. These two men have both individually been through so much but to watch their relationship grow is beautiful. I definitely liked this one better than the first and since I loved the first one too then that’s saying something. I can’t wait for the next book in this series and I sincerely hope Joel Leslie is the narrator for that one as well because he did a wonderful job.
