This book took me forever to start.  Initially I liked Grey and Sam... however as the story went on it felt more and more like they were cheating.  His faithfulness to Grace for the last 5 years made it difficult to feel like he belonged to Sam.  It felt like Grey cheated on Sam with Grace and like he was cheating on Grace with Sam.  His sister Parker just pissed me off the entire book.  Sister or not Grey could have been better with his handling of her always butting in where she wasn't needed.  It ended in a HEA but sadly it wasn't my cup of tea.  I think this is the lowest I've rated any Rebecca Yarro's book.
