I feel like the story does a bait-and-switch with the "darkness" of Caiden and his brothers. You get a glimpse of bad-boy darkness in the first scene when he's confronting someone in the club, but that is basically all of it. It moves on quickly to focus on the romance. This is fine, but I feel like I was set up and then left wanting. The story comes to a neat and tidy close, with room to continue the series. I don't think I'm inclined to read the others, which focus on the other brothers' stories. Their characters weren't fleshed out much and I'm just not curious enough about them *shrug*.
