I was surprised to see the comment about people saying the girls were all weak. No way! They had all experienced hardships and, IMO, showed a lot of strength in overcoming and carrying on. I loved Brady's mom through all three books. Such a sweet lady. I didn't see what happened there coming and was so sorry to see it. This was by far by favorite in the series.Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-82994101036571871462017-09-14T04:32:27.588-04:002017-09-14T04:32:27.588-04:00I would say Glines is a steady 4 star read for me....I would say Glines is a steady 4 star read for me. I never get blown away, but I am always throughly entertained with a bunch of feels. Her heroines always appear to be a little needy, weak, but underneath, they are resilient and quite strong, and I like uncovering that side of them. Just as her heroes seem to be alpha, macho men, but they have this soft, sensitive side.

Riley sounds like a heroine with a pretty different life than the previous Glines MCs I've encountered, but I'm intrigued for sure.

It sounds like something I would absolutely love. I'm not really that big on football, though, so maybe that's why I'm reluctant to give it a try?

I still miss it actually. If this series ends with any kind of FNL vibe, I could easily see myself reading it when I'm in the mood for a contemporary book.

I'm glad that this third book in the series worked well for you. I like reading stories about characters that have grown up too. And it's nice to see your take on the heroines who most people see as weak. Strength isn't as straightforward as some people would like to believe it is.<br />Great review!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304521473521896294noreply@blogger.com
