I have been looking forward to John’s book through all the rest of this series and it absolutely did not disappoint! I couldn’t get enough of John and Abby’s story! Love them! 

I love how it went back and you got to get to know John more and see his and Abby’s friendship develop from the start. They were both exactly what the other needed. I wasn’t sure after Zach’s book if I liked Abby very much but I ended up loving her! She is funny and the sunshine to John’s grumpy- which I couldn’t get enough of! I already loved John but seeing him come out of his shell and become part of the brash family was beautiful! 

This is emotional and funny, full of sweet moments with a little tension thrown in. It is definitely a slow burn but it just made them falling so much sweeter! And that end, I can’t wait for Maverick and Cady’s story now!
