I want to be part of the Knight Rebel family. The women are so protective and caring. You just know that if you have a bad day they are there for you. They are there for Bell from the beginning. They really like Bell, a nurse that had been introduced to readers in previous books. The teasers were there in earlier books--Jesse and Bell are meant to be together. That is if Jesse can get his act together. He had a bad childhood that still influences him many years later. He has PTSD and carries massive guilt over Conner's injuries during a roadside bombing while serving. The only thing he knows for sure is that Knights Rebels are his chosen family. All of this makes for a very interesting character. I couldn't wait to see what happened next, frequently something that left me irritated. Life is difficult for Bell as well. Her sister, Paige, disappeared six years ago, leaving a broken family. You can't help but feel for her and what she has to deal with. She wants to know what happened to Paige. Bell goes to Jesse one night at a party hoping for help in the search. Even though the party was a bust, it is the beginning of a complicated rollercoaster ride of emotions and personal challenges. I really liked how I would predict what would happen and be left with my jaw hanging. They kept me reading until the end. The epilogue left my mouth dragging on the floor along with the Knight Rebels.

Annoying. That's pretty much the word that keeps swirling around my head when I think of this book.

With Jesse he was an annoying dick. I love alpha men, I don't (usually) like douche-y men. He'd order and demand and be cruel to Bell, calling all the women around him (except Belle, Holly, and Nyx's wife) bitches.

Then Bell was such a push over and had no spine. A couple of times she had a bit of fire but then it fizzled out in the next instance.

The whole "looking for Paige" part of the story was hardly there and it was annoying how little there was of it. Every once in a while there'd be a little movement in looking for Paige

Spoiler

but then nothing until the end when they mentioned, yep we found her...and then we don't even see Paige and Bell reunite. Nothing.

And Jesse's family...I couldn't stand them. Jesse was physically and mentally abused by his father, and everyone is essentially saying 'oh forgive your father because he's dying now'. No! No! No! Maybe, maybe if

Spoiler

during the one scene Jesse went home for game night and his father actually was nice to him and actually apologized and showed he actually changed, maybe I could be some what ok with a little pushing but he wasn't he was still a major dick. Jesse was 7 years old when his dad hit him to the floor and kicked him in the stomach. And I'm sure there was more than just that incident. And his dad's anger was blamed on the alcohol and his previous experiences in combat and it was essentially stated that it wasn't his dad's fault he was like that. Clearly it was in there, those things just helped it along.

I was disgusted by Jesse's family.

Then there were times with Bell and Jesse when Jesse would be a monumental ass and Bell would give similar excuse for Jesse's behavior. He's drunk, he had a hard life, he didn't mean it. No!

And Bell's friends were annoying, they weren't friends. If my friends treated me/talked to me like her friends did we would not be friends.

This book annoyed the hell out of me.

I have been crazy about Jesse since he appeared in Nix and Kadence's books. I'm a sucker for a damaged bad boy that's a good man. Belle and Jesse's relationship is filled with tension and battles but I was crazy about both of them. Jesse's dark past and Belle's innocence is the perfect combination and I love them together.
