I always wonder when I read a book with outstanding character arcs and intense emotions whether the author intended this or came naturally as the story went. Either case, I hope Ms Green continues writing such beautiful character development.

Let me start with what I didn't like

NOTHING.... There is nothing I didn't like .. even the "oops we didn't use protection" worked in the book.

Now let me tell you why this was perfect

1- I was always a believer that for an RH romance to work, the men should have a very strong connection to be able to look past the jealousy and accept the sharing. Their bond must be irrefutable. So to read a book where the men started out hating each other was a shock! How would this work??? Let me tell you that the way the story progressed paved it for a strong bond. Edith became the reason and the glue for these three men coming together as a family.

2- The interaction between Edith and each of the men separately was phenomenal. You can see their connection building. Each had to lower their walls to accept her and she wiggled her way into their lives.
In a way each gave her what she needed, the Savior, the Friend, The Lover. And in turn, she completed their lives and gave them a purpose and a sense of belonging.

3- I absolutely love a character that starts out looking as if she is weak, submissive, and accepting of her fate only to find her determined and planning to get herself out. Edith has been the victim of her circumstances all her life. She was daily abused and misused by the person who was supposed to love and protect her. And yet, she is kind, helpful, and resourceful. She was looking for a way out when she met the three men. When their harshness hit, she did not fall quickly back into their arms. She showed them that she is worth fighting for.

4- And of course the major reason I read this book in the first place, the betrayal and the grovel. I am not gonna spoil much, just that each one put in the effort to win her back.

I have definitely pre-ordered the next book in the series.
