I enjoyed this, but there were some things I wish would've been handled/cleared up better.

First, I adored Lucas. The poor thing broke my heart. I despised his stepfather just like I was supposed to. My wish there was that the author would've had him 'get his' better than he did. As evil as he was, I would have loved to have seen some justice served on-page.

I liked Jacob - to an extent. I had a very difficult time with the way he jumped into the '28 days' thing with Lucas. I also had a hard time with the constant Ben, Ben, Ben. Don't get me wrong, I totally got that he was mourning his late husband. It was totally understandable. What wasn't, in my opinion, was how long all that lasted in the book. He's in a Daddy/boy relationship with Lucas, albeit temporary. The reader knows it will change to permanent at some point. When it got there? So rushed. Another review said if there ever was a book that needed an epilogue, it's this one, and I definitely agree.

And, honestly, Jacob wasn't really that nice of a guy. Lucas met Daddy Gabriel at the club and had every intention of spending time with him. And why wouldn't he? It's not like Jacob had gone out of his way to show he wanted him. They only started their temporary relationship because Jacob was jealous. I also didn't like how there was no real hesitation or thinking much about the London thing. Jacob had made the decision and that was that. He even officially accepted the position while still up to his ears in the Daddy/boy thing with Lucas.

Another thing that bugged me was Keith, Jacob's brother. Throughout the entire book the reader wonders what had happened to make him and Jacob estranged. When it came out, it was understood. I'd never have spoken to the bastard again either. I also found the Evan thing (Keith's boy) to be very unrealistic considering what caused the estrangement to begin with.

Keith never should've been forgiven.

Overall, a good book. I just had a hard time seeing these two guys together. I ended it almost wishing Lucas would've gotten his HEA with Gabriel, not Jacob.
