A solid 4. My favorite so far. Reid and Becca were adorable. The angst was low and any issues were resolved quickly. This book was also the most fun. I found myself laughing out loud several times. Aiden, Maddox, & Richard teaching Reid to dance was priceless.

Another fabulous epilogue as well.

I’m looking forward to Van’s story, but he’s been barely mentioned so it’s hard to be as excited for his as I was for previous installments.

I listened to book #4, Reid, in the Vested series. I think this was my favorite. There was no major danger with the hero or heroine being physically at risk as with some of the previous books.

I liked Reid and Becca. I enjoyed this book because there wasn't a ton of angst. Any drama that occurred was resolved fairly quickly. When people were wrong, or made a mistake, they apologized. I loved the times when Reid and Becca were forced into situations where they had to stand their ground. Becca always chose to stand together. Reid would chose to stand alone on occasion, but his concern was always about what he thought was best for Becca. Friends and lovers were supportive, caring, and loyal. This book was also humorous. All of this was very relaxing, comforting, and appreciated, especially considering our current environment.

I always enjoy Bentley, Aidan, and Maddox. Their signifucant others were not as prominent in this book. I also like Sandy. I think Richard also made a great addition to this series. I found his story is in a book called "The Contract". There was also Van, Olive, and Sandy. Sandy has appeared in every book in the Vested series. Van and Olive were later additions. Let us not forget that this book also has an epilogue.

The stories are entertaining, but I honestly think the narration elevates this books. I wife definitely recommend you take a listen.

I loved Reid from the minute he was introduced in Bentley's book and I've been looking forward to his story since then. Melanie Moreland did NOT disappoint! You know that feeling in your stomach when you're reading and you're just overwhelmed by a character? Yeah, I had that with Reid MANY times in this book! Reid was an orphaned baby who never had it easy and made some stupid decisions that landed him in jail. Becca was a good girl, daughter of a cop and the PERFECT girl for Reid Matthews! Learning who he was before BAM and how he got into trouble just made me wish he'd had someone fighting for him and who loved him.

Reid and Becca were seriously hot and his devotion to her was absolutely adorable. I couldn't recommend this enough!

With a horrible childhood and time spent in jail, Reid has had to fight for everything he has achieved. Although the men of BAM had given him the opportunity to work with them, Reid still feels he has to prove his worth to them everyday. But when he finds himself having feelings for Becca, will he finally see he is worthy of her love and acceptance? Or will he always let his past rule into inferiority? With absolutely beautiful characters and a storyline that was filled with so much emotion this is one of my top reads of 2018. The journey that Reid takes pulled on my heartstrings and I found myself with tears on my cheeks without realizing I was crying. Melanie Moreland once again writes a compelling masterpiece that everyone should read.

Reid is the jackpot in book boyfriends

There was just something about Reid in the previous books that indicated I would fall for him, and hard. And I did! Melanie is a superb storyteller. I felt all the emotional pain as Reid recounted his childhood and wanted to comfort him. Becca was his perfect match. I couldn't ask for more! Can't wait for Van!

What an amazing book to finish off an amazing series. Loved the entire series but REID is my all time favorite. Who wouldn't love a guy who even though had a rough start at life and made some questionable decisions ended being such a sweet and loveable guy. He tired so hard to fit in but yet at the same time was himself which made him more appealing. He was so loving, thoughtful, adorable, giving, awkward, funny which all in all made him the perfect boyfriend.
This book made me laugh out loud and at times made me ugly cry. There was nothing that I didn't like about this book. So glad Reid got his own book amd his HEA!!! 5 BIG ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
