Speechless

In my opinion, this is the best of the Pier 70 books so far. Hudson and Teague have been the most interesting side story for the last couple of books, so it was nice to see them in the spotlight and learn more about them. Teague was a pretty tragic character, but it was understandable once we learned more about his history. I loved the way his story arc was handled, it was realistic but still uplifting and positive. Hudson was a great foil for Teague and his issues, although I wish we had seen Hudson as a more flawed character as well. He came off seeming a little too perfect at times, although he was still interesting, it was also nice to have a hero with a disability of some kind, whose story arc didn't revolve around it. It was a breath of fresh air and I liked that Hudson didn't have any diminished self worth because of it, it was very positive characterisation.
Once again, all books in this series seem to suffer from emotional whiplash from characters. For example, at the start Hudson only wants sex and is worried that Teague will want more, then two scenes later he is sad that Teague doesn't want more and acts as though he always did want more. It really throws me out of the stories each time, but luckily the books are good enough that it doesn't ruin them. I loved that Roan's story and Milly's started being set up at the end of this one. I'm not sure how much I'll like Milly's, as I'm not a fan of the trope, but we shall just wait and see. Roan's story looks promising though.
