!!! I'm so happy I got to read this, it was wonderful. In this .5 novel, it's Dex's bachelor party, and of course because it's the Dex we all know and love, things don't go quite so smooth.

First, Dex is having a good time, and he gets a special visit in a private room from a special someone ;)
SpoilerOf course it's Sloane and it's beautiful and hot and sexy and wonderful


Then, Dex being Dex, wants to wear a bear suit he sees some guy wearing, and once he corrals the guy into giving it to him, Dex finds some not so good things in the suit - hilarity ensues as he has to chase the bad guys down in a bear suit and when Sloane sees it on the news while he's having dinner with Tony. It cracked me up.

Then after Dex gets back to his bachelor party and has some fun for a few hours, Wolf shows up *rolls eyes* I am so done with Hudson's brother. I think he's supposed to be all cool and mysterious (and constantly hitting on an uninterested Dex) but really he's just annoying. I don't doubt he will be back. He's like a thorn in my side (although I'm sure others like him, then all the more power to ya)

Also, the constantly getting in Dex's space thing? And flirting? And like kissing his cheek? It's not cute or hot, it's kinda annoying and creepy. I don't know why Wolf thinks he's so appealing by acting like that lol, or maybe that's just me - although he is an assassin/man who likes (or is okay with) torturing and killing people, so maybe he doesn't understand like...social niceties? lol.

Anyway, other than Wolf I loved this. It was hilarious - and for a time, it had some seriousness with it, because Wolf didn't just come to flirt with Dex, he came to warn him about something, but it gets taken care of for the time being. I'm sure more will come in the next book (which I can't wait to read!)

Can't wait for everyone to read this because it is hilarious and cute and hot. Loved it! (Also, there is the first chapter for the next book at the end, yay!)
