I loved Peyton and Jet. This book is fun, easy to read, no mayor drama and super steamy.
I loved the whole series! So sad it is the last book though.

Peyton was nothing more than a cameo in the fourth book, so it was fun to get his HEA. Like Kai in book three, Peyton is a more paint in the lines style of character, but less controlling and therefore a lot easier to connect with.
Tired of being called 'boring' (both in his life and apparently in the bedroom), Peyton moves across the state to Pittsburgh with his business partner, Noah. They start an architecture firm and are revelling in their success. But the message of 'boring' keeps replaying in Peyton's head. So he does something to be less boring. He goes out looking for a hookup, and despite the fact that he's always been straight-ish (he's questioned it a few times and doesn't fully identify as straight), he ends up out in an alley getting blown by and blowing an attractive man: a DJ named Jet.
The problem with Jet becomes apparent only a few minutes after the hookup. He is Noah's estranged brother, in town to try to get to know his brother. This gives an off-limits feel to their growing attraction and a reason that they don't initially pursue it. However, unlike the other time Cayden used this trope, it felt like a really good reason. Jet doesn't want to ruin his ability to reconnect with his brother by hooking up with his best friend. When they realize they can't really keep their hands off of one another, they don't just TALK about talking to Noah. They actually do it. How does that go? Well you're going to have to read it to find that out.
The relationship between Jet and Peyton feels incredibly organic. The intense attraction, the determination to help one another - Jet with Peyton's sexual exploration, Peyton with Jet's reconnection with Noah - builds a great foundation for them to build off of while giving some stakes to the relationship and a bit of internal angst for the MCs. The chemistry is palpable and radiates off of the page. I genuinely enjoy this pair as a couple.
We also get updates on all of the couples from the first four books, providing a great bit of closure as the couples fro the front half of the book and the couples from the back half come together to form one big friend's group - fulfilling me with one final trope: Found Family.
All in all, I highly recommend this book for someone who wants a light and fluffy read with actual stakes but low angst and high steam.

Falling for Trouble finally gives Peyton his HEA. As you may recall if you’ve read Shared Secrets, Book 4, Peyton’s two best friends Casey and Blake fall in love with his little brother, Russell, and now are a happy triad. You don't need to have read Shared Secrets to enjoy Falling for Trouble, though. It can be read as a standalone because everything you need to know is within the contents of the book.
TBH, I wasn’t a big fan of Shared Secrets. This book, however, is significantly better. In fact it may be my favorite of the series. The characters were better developed and just made more sense to me. Peyton and Jet and endearing and so honest and true to each other. Their chemistry is off the charts and the ending is perfect. I highly recommend you read this one.
