Pride was one of those reads that made me wish I could jump into the story and do some seriously bad things to one of the characters, i.e. the villain. Is it possible to hate someone THIS much?! I mean, argh, I so wanted to hurt them for what they were doing to not just Mason and his sister but to a whole host of other characters. I can’t get into the whos and the whys haven’t been fully divulged, but I’m now rather invested in seeing this series through given that the lives of the seven guys and their significant others are entwined. This book isn’t my first J.D. Hollyfield read, but it was definitely a surprise given that it was her 2 Lovers series, which was co-written with K. Webster, that I had previously read and those were romantic comedies. Clearly, Hollyfield does well in the romantic suspense genre, too, packing Mason and Megan’s story with loads of both romance and suspense. Pride gets 4.5 stars and has me excited for the next one. ♥
