5.0

Holt and Blaire are one in the same. Both workaholics. Both love their families. And they both have trust issues.

It was so beautiful to watch Blaire open herself up. I cannot imagine going what she went through and trust people or open up to people again. But Holt was able to bring that out of her. What started as a one night stand turned into a beautiful friendship and a start to their love story.

I loved Holt and his inner dialogue. He was so confused and I loved that. To not be able to understand what you’re feeling, but then his brothers knew exactly what he was feeling...I thought that was so beautiful. His brothers could have steered him away from Blaire, but they didn’t. Wade was my favorite because he was just straight to the point and serious lol I loved what he said to Holt about how arrogant it was of him to think that Blaire needed him when she just wanted him. But let’s be honest, the Mason brothers are just all so funny and irresistible.

I loved the way Walker was with Holt. We love a protective brother! I swear I highlighted that whole scene because it was my favorite.

This was a great read for me and I read it because I read The Relationship Pact and was introduced to the Mason Brothers through Larissa’s story. I am glad that I did because I loved this book and cannot wait to read Reputation next and then visit the Landry’s and Gibsons. I am reading it a bit out of order, but that’s true to my nature LOL
