"I've never been cared for like that in my life." - Fletcher 

"You're the most real human I've ever met." - Ronan 

First of all why is this book so short? I need more of Fletchers family!  I love them so much. They really are a found family. 

*Hostile* felt like a hug and I also had that feeling in this book with the family moments and the conversation that Fletcher and Ronan had together. I wish that this book could be longer, to get to know Ronan more because, I know that he has a hard time opening up and is trying his best but it took a longer time for him to open up which is fine but I also wanted more of them together. I loved that Fletcher was so patient with Ronan, and still told Ronan a lot of himself, they really felt safe with each other. 

They both had a rough childhood, I think there is a lot of understanding they have for each other, that works for them. I love being back in this world, this family. It really feels like a safe place to be in while reading it. I still think about them a lot. I love Blair so much I really feel like she and the other characters are healing a piece of me. 

I honestly could read a 10 book series about the characters and not get bored! I highlighted a lot in this book and I even cried. They deserve the world! 

This book gives hope, that even if your childhood is rough to get through, you can still make your own family, a place that feels safe. Blair and Rhys did that in the most loving and respecting way and the auteur really did an amazing job writing the characters and this world. I really want a book about Blair & Rhys and a book about Bree so much.
