I could read how much they felt for each other, but a great portion of the series they are apart so I didn’t feel it as strongly. One, the connection with Abel and Devlin was not very strong for me. So even though I love the series and I will eagerly await the next book, I did have a couple issues.

I am very interested to see where that goes and how Max fits in with it. They still have some issues, but Kaplan is not the icky man I initially thought, but instead has a story of his own. He is not in love with him, but he is seeing him as the good man that he is and begins to warm up to him. When I say I was worried, I mean I was freaking worried! Abel has escaped the country with Kaplan and is starting to have feelings for him. This was probably the hardest book in the series for me. Those two boys are smoking hot and I for one can’t wait to read more on them.īut to get back to Abel and Devlin this was NOT an easy read. Pick it up and start to read because the part of the series involving Abel and Devlin ended on a high note…a seriously high note at that! From my understanding, there are more books to the series but with other guys, and hopefully (fingers crossed) a full book on Cole and Gabe (or as Jen calls them, the Dynamic Duo). So for those who were holding off reading this series because of the cliff hangers in books one and two well hold off no more. It was a torturous ride but they made it, they finally have everything out in the open and their love was strong enough to conquer all their demons.

Man, I am so happy to say that is not the case. This is the third installment of the Phoenix Club series and as the pages were winding down I was beginning to worry that maybe, just maybe there would not be a HEA for these two lost souls. What a wild ride! For real, I am seriously worn out! Abel and Devlin have every card in the pile stacked against them and at this point I was really nervous. With the threat of prison hanging over him, Abel is sent away with Horatio Kaplan to Italy for safe keeping.Ĭertain he has lost Devlin forever, and broken by the reality that he has devastated Devlin’s life, Abel takes an unexpected comfort in Kaplan when the man begins to show sincere care and affection for him. Blurb: Abel’s heart is crushed by Devlin’s vehement rejection and refusal to believe the truth about his brother.
