The story was really good and I absolutely loved Beau and Bailey. But, and there is a big but, there’s a couple of things I didn’t like and others that made me uncomfortable.  Number one, the plot twist/conflict at the end felt very out of no where, rushed and useless. Second, I hated the age difference. I don’t love age gaps but the fact that he had know her since she was young and that she is 22 and he is 35 was weird. Added to that the fact that there was a big emphasis on the whole virgin thing made it even weirder. On the flip side, I did like the development of their relationship. I do wish Beau had been more upfront about how he was feeling to his family. I had high hopes cause I loved Beau in the other novel so I felt a bit let down. Still a good read overall (I imagined she was 25 and he was 30).
