Ryder by L.A. Casey
5.0
4.5
Ryder has an entirely different feel to it among the other Slater brothers books.
When all of the other books started with fun scenes, this one started in an intense manner. I guess that's what I call Ryder and Branna's relationship. It's intense. When they love each other, it's intense, and when they fight, even small fights seem intense.
Their characters can also be described as intense. Branna is intensely a protective mother bear while Ryder is an intensely secretive man.
I find that I didn't like Ryder's character as much as I wanted to. Branna on the other hand, is A REVELATION. The stars that I give this book all goes to her. I didn't expect to love her like this. I just admire her strength from start to finish. She's this woman who can do everything for the man she loves, even push aside her own feelings just to protect him. She's that woman who can overlook almost anything and still be there for him. However, enough is enough. I like the way she handled her almost-break up. She really is strong, capable and very, very responsible- not just to Bronagh and Ryder. She's like that to everyone, it makes my jaw drop! When everyone was caught up in their own issues, here she was, bottling everything up so as not to bother other people with her own misery.. It's sad and also very admirable.
In this book, she learns what it means to hold on and leg to. She finds the strength to tell people how she really feels and the people around her make her realize that she's important too. That's what I love best about this book. There are many scenes wherein the other brothers or the other women comfort her and make her feel loved. I think that's just amazing. :)
The time I read this book (under 4 hours, honestly) is time well spent. I've been looking forward to their ending and I just have to say.. It's satisfying. :)
