Forty by Cate C. Wells
4.0
I started reading Forty and just made myself stop. I went back and read the majority of the preceding books in the Steel Bones series. I read Charge, Nickle, and Scrap mostly because they make up the close-knit brothers at the center of the stories. I really like these guys and their women. No one is perfect; they are seriously flawed humans, like most of us. Forty and Nevaeh are no exception. They are about as opposite as you can get, and that is why they work.
Their story could have been tragic; Nevaeh would not let that happen. I don't know if it was her ADHD, but she borders between manic and annoying to dazzling and delightful. Forty is borderline OCD and a bit of a grouch. There's a whole lot of hurt hidden away by both that manifests itself in anger and stupid actions. Eventually, everything comes to light, and they repair the fractures in their relationship.
All through this series, we have a strong storyline of a long-standing conflict with a history that goes back to when this crew was young. It's unresolved, and now I am waiting for more stories to keep this suspenseful mystery going. It's a great storyline that leaves you hanging while still getting a really lovely HEA from the author. I'm really enjoying this series, and I look forward to more.
