4.5 stars
I really really liked this first book in Brigham's Vaughn new series.
I've always wondered about the O'Shea brothers since I read Kelly's story and now we get to Know Connor's too and have a close look to his family.
I loved all: how Jesse and Connor slowly got to know each other, how Jesse built a close relationship with the children, especially with Nolan, how he could understand Connor?s situation and the pressure he was under for being part of such huge legacy; I loved how Connor changed his mind about Jesse, how he appreciated his wild side, how he started considering him more like a partner than a casual hookup
I found particularly well written the part about Connor's struggling with his faith: it was painful but also necessary to the story. I appreciated that it wasn't reduced to a homophobic situation, like it happens in the majority of the MM books, but there was actually reasoning, questioning, feeling the loss of support, choosing love above church's directions.
I adored the children and I really really love Nolan and his puppy love.
I also liked how Connor and his ex wife mended their relationship and were able to be very honest with each other. Instead I think her reaction about Nolan's news was not very credible: she wasn't much into her Church when Kelly came out and she was awful, I don't think she could have been so understanding and soft with Nolan after years of spending time with homophobic people with very strict values. I'm happy for Nolan, of course, but I was expecting more drama on that front.

Anyway, I can't wait to read more of this series!
Very recommended

P.S.: my baby, Gabriel Theriault, is still the best!

I received an ARC of this book from Neon Rainbow and this is my honest review.
