Great first effort from this author

I really liked Daniel. He was so calm and I enjoyed his attempts at flirting with Eli. I felt for him when Eli walked away as that was the second time it had happened to him in the space of a couple of months. His family was a hoot and in their shenanigans I could see a lot of my family unit, although we are a lot smaller unit than they were.

I liked Eli too, but found him a prickly pear at times. He had such responsibility with his niece and nephews and he took it without complaints. While I understood and could sympathize to an extent why he was upset and walked away, I also didn't quite understand why he didn't fight for Daniel. It also took him a long time to make up his mind, he was lucky Daniel was prepared to wait.

I also didn't get Gabe and his attitude towards Daniel. He had no reason to act that way.

I loved Daniel's team and feel their connection and loyalty to each other. I hope we get to see more of them in future.

There were a few storyline threads that were left hanging and I hope some of them will be dealt with in the next book.

Can't wait to continue on with this series
