I was excited for Aiden's story, but I have to say this is my least favorite of the series so far. I still liked it and I enjoyed the love story, but the idea of forcing a pregnancy didn't sit right with me. I understand Selena's motivations for wanting to get pregnant, but I think her sisters would have been fine if they all just sat and had a conversation. It seemed like her love for Aiden wasn't really genuine until the end and I struggled with that. I did like Aiden's development and the involvement of his siblings in this one. The spice and intimacy was very good here as well, I just didn't find myself rooting for these two as much as other stories in the series. I'm still looking forward to books five and six!
