This is the first part of Elliott and Joel's story. This is a true series and needs to be read in order. If you are able to be patient (I am not), it might be best to wait for all 4 books to be out before you start as there are at least minor cliffhangers with each book.

This series starts out with a reunion of many familiar faces (if you’ve read any of Cara’s prior books) at Elliott’s new house. My main draw to this series was Tenshay because they have my heart, but I have fallen hard for all of the other characters (Elliott, Joel, Crew, Adrien) in this series. Once the reunion gets into full swing, things take a turn and shit gets real.

“Everyone away from the house!� I yelled. “Take cover! Away from the house!� “Fucking run!� Crew shouted.

They are attacked, loved ones are taken and friends are killed. It’s tragic and heartbreaking. But this group is not to be messed with and they immediately jump into action to get their people back.

I like that most of these men are older, in their 40’s, but they’re all still bad asses. They are hot AF especially when going after the cartel. This book focuses mostly on the action and trying to figure out who they need to go after to rescue their family members.

Fuck, I couldn’t see him upset. It was a million times worse than seeing Piper in tears. He had to be closed off. Aloof. A dick, even. Otherwise, I started to crumble—and remember how things used to be. Or how they could’ve been.

Elliott and Joel have such an interesting back story and I loved getting the little glimpses of it through the flashbacks. Listen, the flashbacks are everything! The steam! It is so good. Just the thought of them getting back together has got me dying for book 4 because it will be amazing.

Fuck. One single taste of him, and I had to have more. I slipped my hand to the back of his neck, and he angled himself closer to me. We sucked in a quick breath before we were at each other again, and we started making out.

In the present, Joel and Elliott are trying to navigate their current dynamic while also remembering what happened in their past. There is a scene where Joel gets Elliott his favorite Mexican food and it messes with his head. They have this disdain for one another, yet they know each other so well.

I was working on an apology. I just� It went against my nature these days to be civil to Joel. Even more so to be nice. Or fair. Or whatever. Soon as I saw his face, I immediately wanted to hurt him.

Shrimp quesadillas. He’d bought shrimp quesadillas for me. See, that was enough to make my mind spin, and I couldn’t fucking afford that now.

I cannot wait for the rest of their story.

Joel came out from the bathroom with a towel around his hips, and I averted my gaze. Fucking hell, he was still too gorgeous for words. Or more gorgeous, I should say. He’d been smoking hot at eighteen, and thirty-three, too, but forty-one knocked the others out of the park.
