The Hard Feelings series by Kelsie Leverich is a favorite of mine.  I love the fact that they can be read as stand alones but are even better when read in order.  We have been introduced to Rafe in the past so I was very excited he was getting his own book. I will admit that this book started off a little slow for me so I was a little worried.  But I was worried for nothing.  Once I was in, oh boy was I in and could not put it down.  Rafe and Fallon are fantastically strong characters!!  I loved the chemistry between them but what I loved most was the fight between them.  Two very strong willed independent characters make for an explosive story.  Both have been damaged by their pasts, but when the walls come down, watch out! We are introduced to Rafe’s family in this one and OMG I am in LOVE with each and every one of them.  I totally see a spin off series with them.  I just know that they each have an amazing story to tell.   I am so glad I hung in there with this one, the end result was beautiful.
