4.5 stars
Fourth book in The Boys of Hudson Burrow series, finally Bradley's story.
I was curious about him since the author let us know he's a single dad and in this book finally we get to know more about his life.
Bradley is a simple man: he works hard to raise his daughter with his grandmother's help, he doesn't do anything for himself, he's very devoted to Lily, but he also secretly yearns for a romantic love, for a partner who can cherish him and live a simple life with him.
Bradley (who doesn't have any kind of experience with men) is also very attracted to Madison, one of Tristan's former roommates.
Madison is a gorgeous man who lives a secret life, he's a porn star and he doesn't go to mama Viv's bar because he doesn't want to be recognised. He also keep his roommates at arm's lenght, he has been on his own his whole life and he doesn't know how to let people in.

When Madison needs a fake boyfriend to attend a gala with him, Bradley accepts to help.
The night they spend together after the party is so so romantic and beautiful: Hayden Hall really knows how to write steamy and emotional physical scenes.

Bradley and Madison's feelings for each other are deep, but insecurities are deeper, for both of them. But while Bradley take a leap of faith and trust Madison to be really interested in him, Madison's fears prevents him to accept that Bradley's love for him is real, that he is really what Bradley wants, that his job is not an obstacle.

I found all well written, especially Madison's internal monologues.
I didn't like very much Dane's involvment in the story, it felt like unnecessary drama that ended abruptly without a real conclusion.
I also would have like to know how they navigated the first period of their relationship before jumping into the epilogue.

I'm really enjoying this series and I look forward for the next book: we have a hint about the next story and it already looks very good.
Very recommended.

I received an ARC of this book from the author and this is my honest review.
