Oh, I loved Robby and Calder so much! This story is a tad emotional and intense at times, but the romance was honestly very sweet. Just like every Onley James book, I really loved this. Except for one thing. The jump from the last chapter to the epilogue was very abrupt and jarring story-wise. Which is the only reason why this isn't 5 stars like all other Onley James book I've read so far.
One moment Robby is shot and Calder is breaking down because it seems like he's dying and they're saying their I love you's and making promises for the future even though they might not have one and it's all kind of intense and emotional... and then suddenly we're in the epilogue a year later. Just like that. So yeah, that pulled me out of it big time.


Anyways, on to book 4!
