I think that this was my favorite CCP book yet. This story was all about family and less about a murder. I liked seeing the softer side of all four guys as they dealt with Kaye. The wedding was teary and for good reason. Greeley was finally fleshed out well. He will bear watching along with that Irish Miss. ( )

So freaking amazing!!! Tennyson has had nothing to do with his parents for 13 years after they kicked him out on his 18th birthday for being gay and a psychic. Imagine his surprise to be woken up by his dead father standing at the foot of his bed. His father asks him to return to his nasty, evil, hate spewing mother (my words obviously, not his-lol) to assist her with the funeral and to make sure she can take care of herself without him. Despite many concerns and wishes to leave it alone, Ten and Ronan head to Kansas.

There is a mean spirited mother, a cold case that the local sheriff asks the guys to help with, a lot of introspection, a tornado, and a hopeful path to eventual forgiveness. Ten's emotions were brilliantly written, and brilliantly narrated by the amazing Michael Pauley. I loved so much about this book, but my favorite parts are the emotional journey that is taken while Ten and Ronan remain closer than ever, showing that family is what we make it and not always what we are born into (go Fitz and Greeley!!!), and that EPILOGUE!!!! Holy cow. One of the best epilogues in the history of epilogues. The only thing that could have made it better was a bit more detail on the planning and actual wedding. Other than that, I bawled like a baby as Ronan stared into the mirror and as he prepared for one of the best days of his life. Absolutely brilliant.
