MY REVIEW:

I waited so long for this book and was so ready for it. Kyle and Maebe have been teased for a long time and I wanted their story especially after the way Kyle left things with Maebe.

Kyle has been through a lot and he has a huge chip on his shoulder. He’s actually been through a little more than we initially though and I loved getting to see his side. He tough and thinks there no redeeming him and then he meets Maebe and things start to look different.

“It had been way more fun to watch Uncle Ian go slowly insane as his utilitarian office was transformed into something designer and chic.“

Maebe is one of the best younger generation’s computer wiz. She smart and loves gaming, she has a tough family life but she found a different kind of family at McKay-Taggart. One she could depend on, one that always has her back no matter what. She’s happy and content with what she has until she meets Kyle.

Now she wants something else but the stubborn man won’t give in and give them both what they want. Kyle thinks he’s too jaded and rough around the edges for Maebe, so he keeps his distance not wanting to get involved.

Not in a relationship there aren’t, MaeBe had replied quietly, her eyes on him. Or at least there shouldn’t be. I’m sorry. I’m with Maddie. There shouldn’t be secrets between people in love. There should be trust and intimacy. Your partner should be the only person in the world you tell everything to. The good. The bad. The ugly.

He thinks of her as innocent and puts he up on a pedestal that she didn’t not asked to be placed on. Always trying to protect her and never teaching her how to protect herself, and her always trusting him and not wanting to know how to protect herself. At this point Maebe was a tiny bit too soft for my liking.

So when Kyle faked his own death and walked away from Maebe, it was finally time for her to learn to protect herself and not depend on anyone. Not gonna lie, I loved seeing the backbone in Maebe and seeing her stand up for herself and demanding to learn how to fight.

Even though it was a jerk move for Kyle to leave, I think Maebe needed it to find the strength within her.

Anyways to the book now, I loved seeing the early days with Kyle and Maebe from their perspectives and seeing what kind of relationship they were building. And seeing how they came to trust each other and learn things about one another. Such a great background and lead up to the current story.

And let me tell you the current story delivers. I love the first scene with both characters, I knew I was in for a great story and as per usual this author did not disappoint.

I loved who Maebe became and didn’t listen to Kyle but made her own decisions and  stuck by them. She wasn’t letting him do that to her again. Like I said before I think Maebe needed the time away from Kyle to become more of her self and stand up to him. Other wise he would always be doing things to “protect her” and not listen to a thing she said.

“So the two of you never took the relationship past friendship? All this angst has been over two buddies who like to hang but never bang?”

Kyle also needed to see what it was like to be without Maebe. I loved that he came back thinking he would get the same Maebe he left and was surprised with the new tough chick Maebe that doesn’t take crap from anyone.

“When did you become such a broody boy? I always thought I would love a broody vampire. Now I realize how obnoxious that would be. Thanks for ruining paranormal romance for me.“

I loved watching them find their way back to one another and learning how to be together again and this time for the long haul. I also like that Kyle finally got it through his thick skull that he couldn’t just run away every time something got scary. He needed to stay and fight with his family and woman.

Oh and of course it gives all the angsty vibes that you could hope for. All in all another favorite! A must read.
