Ian and his restaurant comes under attack, and Hollis fights to protect his husband. My babies Ian and Hollis! They're my fav couple and I loved how preciously happy and lovey-dovey they are. But Ian's brutal past gets dragged up again, and it was a lot. Hollis is so supportive, protective and his love for Ian is absolutely fierce and relentless. Ian takes it upon himself to face everything head on, but he always leans on Hollis. I so adored the trust and devotion between them. 

The domestic moments are super sweet and the bedroom moments are off the charts hot. I've always loved this particular dynamic between them. Lots going on action wise, and their nosy, ride-or-die family are there to support them,  and that certainly made it more fun. We also get a fabulous epilogue with all the couples. It was a perfect way to end the series.
