He has watched her from afar…
Paul Reed has been raising children since he was a child himself, but he wouldn’t change his life, even if given an opportunity. That is, until one of his brothers says four little words that shake the foundation of his world. “She’s not a lesbian,” shouldn’t be quite so earth shattering, but suddenly the woman he loves is available, and he’ll do whatever it takes to win her over.
They call her Friday, and she’s hiding more than just her name…
Friday has worked in the Reeds’ tattoo parlor for four years. She’s become more than just an employee, and she loves being in the middle of something so wonderful. She treasures the way the Reeds live for one another, and she adores the way they take care of their family. She would do just about anything to be part of it, if not for the fact that she doesn’t deserve a family of her own. Or does she? Friday is punishing herself for her past, and by doing so, she pushes away the one man who could truly love her.
Separately, they’re strong. Together, they’re vulnerable. As a team, they rock.
And then there were things that felt like so random and happened in a rush. It was a surprise all right, I think, but it happened and solved so suddenly I felt like it was there just so the story has surprise and drama in it.
But my main problem was I couldn’t quite believe that Paul is fall in love head over heel with Friday. Yes he keeps telling me over and over that he wants her for years, but in all those years (means: in all those previous books) I didn’t see it. Even when they have already known for four years, I still felt they are fall in an insta-love. And I didn’t feel their chemistry, unlike with other couple in previous books. I also didn’t quite like Paul here. He’s disappointing me. His relationship with his ex-girlfriend is kind annoyed me. He slept with her for years because it’s convenience for them while at the same time he knows that she has boyfriend and even engage with him (her boyfriend) at one time. I mean he knows she’s with someone else and yet he kept sleeping with her. And then suddenly he realizes that he falls in love with Friday. And the fact that he still has a tattoo with his ex’s name in his body? is a no-no for me, a big no, hell to do no!
The positive thing is this book still involves other Reeds, even when I feel a bit “full and crowded” with all of their stories. But hey, I’m not complaining here, I just can’t get enough of them. And I still want to the rest of the series.
