Following on from Ginger Snapping All the Way, Stanley is Maddox's ex . I went into this story not liking Stanley one bit after what he did to Maddox, but the more I listened to this story, the more I understood him.
Whilst this was also an instalove story, it didn't feel rushed as there were other emotional storylines going on, mainly Stanley being a guardian for his estranged half-brother's son. My heart broke for Angus, loosing his dad and as it was close to Christmas felt more upsetting. Justin was a compassionate character not afraid to call Stanley out and had so much love to give.
I loved knowing more about the therapy centre that Justin worked at.
Michael Dean had a way of telling this story that brought out all the emotions
