“Why are you putting up with me?” I asked, my voice little more than a hoarse whisper. Shep’s eyes locked with mine. “Because everything about you screams that you’ve been fighting alone for too damn long, Thorn. You need someone to help carry the weight for a little while. I might not be able to fix everything, but I can help carry the load.”

I was so excited to get Shep & That's story and they were EVERYTHING!!! I felt so protective over Thea because what she went through was absolutely horrendous and I could totally understand her need to stay lowkey and be cautious. But it was obvious that in order to live her life, she had to come out of all that and I was so glad that Shep was so patient with her. The way he understood her and never pushed her to the point that she would get uncomfortable was commendable! This book was heavy at times but the side characters made it feel much more lighter! I liked seeing Anson & Rhodes again and I must say that, Sutton's story has caught my interest! I cannot wait to read all the next books in this series because these characters have quickly formed a place in my heart and I can't get enough! Overall, I loved Shep & Thea's chemistry. Their little moments made me feel all the butterflies but I thought that everything happened at once in the end and it was kind of chaotic. Still, I loved the epilogue and the way Shep protected and cared for Thea had my heart melting!

I received an ARC in exchange of an honest review
