I loved this story. I already loved the characters from the previous books so I was 100% emotionally attached. The book had all the emotional ups and downs with the funny humour fitted in to make it light-hearted.

Man, More Than Enough was a great read. I read the prior books in the series a while ago now and I don't know why I didn't read this one at the time. I think I didn't realize I hadn't until I was looking up books to get ready for Lucas' release. I looked at it and was just like wait...I didn't read Dylan's story yet?!? I need to get on that. This whole series just is wonderful, and even though Cameron is still my favorite, I loved Dylan as well. I wish I would have had a group of friends like this when I was in high school/college. They are all so great!
I remember Dylan and Heidi from the prior books, but not what happened with them. I don't think we found out, just that they weren't together anymore. They seemed to have had it all, to be for real, but it didn't work out. So I was really excited to see who would grab his attention next. Would it still be Heidi? Or do we get a new girl?
Dylan is in the military. He has just come back from fighting overseas and things are weird for him. His can't really sleep or anything, he can't get comfortable while his brothers are still over there fighting. While the images he has seen stay with him. I honestly can't imagine how these brave people come back and have a "normal" life after some of the things they have to go through. It is not for me, but man they have to be strong to do that. So Dylan is trying to figure things out. He is injured, but hopes to get back to 100% so he can go back. He has friends who are still fighting, people he trusts and wants to help. He was wonderful.
When the neighbor starts blaring music in the morning just when he is about to fall asleep he is not happy. Not happy at all, so he goes over to take care of it. Only he finds a girl who is so broken. Somehow when he is in her room things are a bit better. He can let his guard down and rest. Yes, she is broken. Yes, she is involved in some destructive behavior, but she is not handling things that happened in her past very well. I really enjoyed reading her story. She was such a unique character. Yes, I have read broken people stories before (and I love them), but the way she dealt with things? Amazing even though it was not so good at times. I loved all of her notes and stuff. How she was trying to manage wading through these new waters. Trying to figure out how to move on yet still hold onto the past as well. And Dylan was amazing through it all. He helped her so much and was never jealous of her past. He never made her choose between him and prior people she loved. Oh, I loved him.
Of course things get a bit tricky when some bad things happen. Stuff that messes up everything. Stuff that almost breaks them. Luckily Dylan's lady is strong enough for the two of them. Luckily she wants to try and save him just like he saved her. The two of them together? So wonderful to read.

I mean, when you think about it, time is just that...time. It's what life is made of. So time stops when a life ends.
But that doesn't mean you don't fight to make time move again.

I had been really looking forward to this as I loved Dylan, what can I say I love them big and brooding, but this left me feeling disappointed and it's not because Heidi isn't the girl in this story. I was one of the few who didn't want this to be about Heidi. I felt that we had already had the story of high school love and beyond with Cam and Lucy and honestly, it could never be as good as that. I liked that Dylan and Heidi were left unresolved because sometimes thats how it happens in life, you grow apart and never really get closure. All that being said I didn't care for the girl in the beginning. She's such a mess that's it's hard to feel sorry for her and I didn't completely connect with her in the beginning. I do think this is on purpose as she's drowning in grief and alcohol that even she doesn't know what's going on in her head. As she pulled herself together I really liked her and I did connect with her.
The first two thirds of this was a 5* read for me, it was the last third probably 2*. Dylan messed up so much and so big that I felt that he never really redeemed himself. Even at the end I wasn't sold on him. My other big problem was the epilouge, I've read all 5 books and I wanted some sort of goodbye to these characters and that epilouge just plain sucked.

I have so many mixed feelings on this book. I put off reading it because Dylan doesn't end up with the person I want. And I started off not really liking it. I couldn't stand the drinking. Then I couldn't stand the dependency that had on each other. Somewhere along the way that all stopped, or at least died down and I was able to enjoy the book. I saw how good they were for each other. Then BAM! All goes to crap. And I went back to not being able to stand the book. They rely on each other in such unhealthy ways. A recovering alcoholic shouldn't rely on someone to keep them sober, and that's pretty much exactly what happens. And someone with PTSD shouldn't be seeing a friend that is a therapist, they should be seeing someone who has an unbiased opinion and can give you real help. It's all types of screwed up. There were some good parts and they do ended up being good for each other (I guess) so there is that.

Dylan Banks. Marine. He has always been looking for his purpose in life. After leaving behind his friends and enlist with marines. He's come back on and meets Riley.
Riley Hudson. A girl dealing with grief. She is a recluse of sorts. After having loss someone very dear to her, Riley loses it. Drinking the days away. Writing notes to remember them. While dealing with her grief Dylan shows up.
Through their demons they make it through. Riley stops drinking with the help of Dylan and he's offer to take the pain away. Riley does the same just by being there for him. she shows interest in things that he notices his ex never did. Time goes by things happen and it has them fighting for their relationship and what they want. And in the end, everything turns out great. Dreams come true. they really do.
Gah. I loved this book along with every other book in this series. I'm sad to see this series end but happy to know we get more of Lucy's brothers. This book got me so good. Tears for fucking days. happy, sad, and angry tears. throwing my Kindle or jumping up and down with happiness or just laughing my ass off. oh and the mayhem!!!! I can't wait to see what's up next from jay!

This book was nothing short of perfection. Dylan and Riley had so much they had been through and then more that they even had to go through. This story had everything, humor, love, friendship, heartache, struggles in a beautifully written way.
