God... I'm a bad brooding boy girl so I loved Caiden. He's my guy. But this book... Weston is the Sam to Caidens Dean. Yes, a Supernatural reference but it's just how I can describe them best. And West is so cute and hot. Freaking hot.
And Lena is so tough. I wanna be like Lena. Just say whatever is on my mind and sometimes be a little reckless, dare more to do.
I loved these characters, I loved how their dynamic is and how it wasn't all about the love but about the plot and about the dynamics in the group and everything.
Becca makes you feel like your part of the Four, not just a spectator and I love that about this series.

Weston and Lena’s is here! I loved Weston in Caden and Winter's book. Weston has grown more in this book. Lena is a strong woman knows what she wants. They are a perfect match. I cant wait for Cassius and Zayde books.

Weston.... This book! Weston and Lena have so much chemistry! I love this series (can be read as a standalone, but do yourself a favor and read the rest) and these guys! Each one of the Four brings something different to the group, Weston is the computer nerd so he was the one who intrigued me the most from the start. Ms. Steele does not let us down here! There is so much going on, I just love that in addition to the wild ride of Lena and Weston's relationship we get the deeper mysteries in the background! Lena is an amazing heroine, such strength in her, not to mention mad computer skills as well. These two together are an unstoppable force and I LOVED that. I don't want to give too much of the plot away but its different and compelling and you will be on the edge of your proverbial seat! I don't know if sweet flirty fun-loving Cass will be next or if we'll get dark broody mysterious Z but either way I can't wait!

Maybe I have a problem with standalone books. Idk. But this was a little to “sweet?” I think that’s the right word for it. It followed the typical romance novel cycle except there wasn’t a big conflict between the two lovers once they decided to be all in. So if you want a romantic, yet action packed, book, then this is the book for you. If you prefer a bit more darkness in your MMC and drama/conflict in their relationship, then I recommend skipping this one.

Now that Caiden and Winter are all loved up, it’s only fair that it’s the next Cavendish son’s turn to fall in love. And what a love story it is for Weston and Lena!
I really liked that this story was a continuation of all the events of books 1-3. Becca Steele wrapped up so many storylines, but there were still a few unresolved and I was glad to see them picked right back up in this story. There were also a few storylines that I knew were going to break Weston’s heart, but I was really pleased with how quickly things progressed and were brought to light instead of them festering between the characters throughout the whole story.
Weston was my favorite character in the first three books and he does not disappoint here. He’s unbelievably sweet and wickedly sexy, all while being one of the nicest guys I’ve ever read. Lena was a badass in [b:Trick Me Twice|54546186|Trick Me Twice|Becca Steele|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1602160508l/54546186._SY75_.jpg|85108793] and her cameos in the first three books, so I was really excited to read more about her. She’s complex, independent and fierce...and the perfect girl to break Weston of his playboy ways. Seeing their relationship turn from friendship to love and traverse all of the hurdles and obstacles along the way together, supporting each other at every turn, was exactly what I hoped to see from the two of them!
The real star of this story was Cassius and Weston’s bromance. Even though Lena is Cassius’s little sister, it wasn’t a huge point of contention for their friendship and that was SO refreshing. These two guys genuinely love each other and it showed in every interaction. Their conversations were so real and honest that it made me love them both even more!
Ultimately, I felt like this book focused a little too much on the dog fighting and the investigation of Martin and not enough on the development of Weston and Lena’s relationship. I would have loved to see more of them connecting on a deeper level than friendship (where they had been for years), not just gotten mentions of it happening between plot points. We got so much of that from Caiden and Winter, so I felt like I missed out a little bit on establishing their connection.
And, of course I loved the interactions with the rest of the Four - Lena had been an outside part of their group before, but seeing them bring her completely into the fold was perfect. This book has me so excited for Cassius and Zayde’s stories...can’t wait for books 5 and 6!
