I had previously skipped this book in the series because I wanted to get to the next couple, but I'm glad I picked this up. We get to know a lot of the inner doubts Farrow has about becoming a physician and the journey he takes to make a decision about where he wishes to take his career. We also learn he has some mental health issues he struggles with associated with the death of his mother when he was much younger. Farrow has in many ways been a support to Maximoff, so it's great to see his Moffy and his friends be supportive of him as well.
We do meet Farrow's sleazy ex-boyfriend. He felt like a very one dimensional villain and we didn't really get to know much about that relationship or why they broke up. However, the emotional moments between Farrow and Maximoff as well as Maximoff and his siblings that resulted from his presence were still worth having him in the story for me. We have seen Maximoff be very protective of his siblings before and this is the first time that we see how protective his siblings are of him in kind. I always enjoy seeing healthy and loving sibling relationships in books.
I personally do have issues with the implied lack of professionalism involved with Farrow being Moffy's bodyguard. However, this is a romance series, so I've opted to suspend my disbelief for a lot of the plot pertaining to this. If hat is something you can't do you may not enjoy it as much.
