I feel like I need to start this review out by really taking a moment to voice how much I adore Jory. This character is so unique, and, although I’m aware he will not be everyone’s cup of tea, he sure is mine. His bluntness cracked me up, his scattered-brain constantly put a smile on my face and his overall vibe just made me happy. The way he simply breezes through life, shaking everything and everyone up in his wake will never fail to thoroughly entertain me.
I’m not sure what makes Jory tick the way he does; maybe it’s ADHD mixed with a heavy dose of charm and wit, but I truly adore him.
This was definitely my favourite book in the series so far, with the previous book coming as a close second. Is it a coincidence that both of my favourite books hardly featured Sam and mostly left Jory to do his own thing? I think not. The main romance of this series is just not what is driving my love for it (even though I no longer dislike Sam); it is Jory and his crazy life and his many intriguing meetings with people that completely draws me in. The way he interacts with others just fascinates me, and I’m always so happy whenever someone in the book is completely enraptured with him as well.
This book in particular had a lot of men falling head over heels in love with Jory. It genuinely felt like true admiration and adoration from them rather than just lust, which I really appreciated.
We had men like Cristo Liron, Hayes Fisher, Aaron Sutter; and I just loved each of their obsessions with Jory. All three of them had tons of chemistry with him and I just swooned over every scene they were in. All of their seperate storylines and relationships with Jory had me completely hooked. Of course I always knew it wouldn’t go anywhere (because Jory will always love Sam and all that), but damn if I didn’t thoroughly enjoy him being flirted with, obsessed over, and completely and utterly adored. These men were basically all fighting for him, or, at least, they were all very much prepared to do so if only Jory would give them a chance. It made me feel all giddy.
This book genuinely just had me read it in its entirety with a big ass smile on my face, and I couldn’t ask for more than that. I love Jory and I love all his interactions with other people. I do not think I will ever get bored of it.
