About this listen
Loyalty demands he stay away. Lust challenges Nathan’s integrity. Love demolishes all boundaries.
Nathan can’t recall the precise moment he fell for Derringer, but he knows exactly why he has to stay away. Derringer is dating Nathan’s brother. When Derringer is dumped in the worst of ways, Nathan comes to the rescue. His motives are pure. His intentions above par. Then he kisses Derringer, and nothing is black or white any longer.
Derringer has spent the past two years getting cheated on and manipulated by Nathan’s younger brother, Andrew. He’s done being weak. The moment Nathan’s lips touch his, Derringer feels more powerful than ever before. Nathan has been a thousand things for Derringer -his savior, listening ear, rock, and friend. Now, Derringer is determined to make Nathan one more thing - his.
But Andrew isn’t finished with Derringer, and he won’t stop until he wins Derringer back or destroys him. Nathan has to make a choice - the younger brother he’s always supported or the man he can’t live without.

Story
I went searching for trouble and I found it. I just didn’t expect to find it in the form of Cillian Gallagher. The gorgeously tatted lead singer and guitarist of Wild Irish, Cillian is everything I’ve always tried to stay away from. He’s wild and dangerous. And exactly what I need to cross off number four on my bucket list. Kiss a complete stranger. It should have been that simple. But I wasn't prepared for the scorching heat that would ignite a passion, leaving us both gasping for air.

Temporary. That's the word I'd use to describe my life right now. I'm temporarily working double shifts - at least until I can break free. I'm temporarily raising my little brother - since apparently our actual mother doesn't give a crap about either of us. And I always end up as nothing but the temporary girlfriend - the flavor of the week for every guy who's heard the rumor that I give it up so easily.

Two halves of a whole, Arlo Bishop and I were both unwanted kids brought together by the foster system. Dealing with the aftermath of neglect and abandonment, we grew up side-by-side and found solace in one another. But somewhere along the way, Arlo wanted and needed and loved drugs more. So I broke my own heart to save his. Now, four years later, I’m back in L.A. and face-to-face with my past. I didn’t plan on a second chance, fear of history repeating making it hard to forgive and even harder to forget. But with only one touch, one kiss, I was taken back to where it all started.

They were my bullies once. Three boys I hated more than anything. They made my life hell for a year - until I escaped their cruelty when my dad's job moved us away. I've never forgotten them, though. Never forgotten what they did. And I know they haven't forgotten me. But when I'm offered a full-ride scholarship to the prestigious Clearwater University, I refuse to let old fears stop me from accepting. Because I'm not the girl I used to be. I'm stronger. Tougher. Angrier. And if West, Reese, and Trent think they can screw with me again...well. We'll just see who breaks first.

Where is Hollie?
The story was really lovely, but you can not switch narrators on us in the last book. Where is Hollie? There were points in the novel where the narrator got the names of the characters wrong, in the scene where Nathan is helping Derringer open his door after the nightclub scene. But the story was a Charity worthy offering.

Definitely Recommend
I have really liked this series. Nathan is a keeper! The only negative is the narrator. She is ok in the general narration but when she switches to the actual characters it was awful. It is a testament to the story that I continued even though I cringed at the narration. I might have liked this one better in book form.

Decent story. Decent narration.
Decent writing for a fluffy romance, but I was looking for a bit more hockey and a dash more action. Worth the listen if you are looking for basic romance.

I’ve listened to this for some minutes and decided I can’t stand it, so, sorry, I can’t finished the book (which I rated 4 stars assuming it’s as good as the previous 7 ones)...

Wrong Narrator
This whole series is one of my favorites, I just don't get why, there is no male narrator that would have loved to read this series. Michelle Henderson just doesn't get it for me. I'll keep it because I have the rest of the series but, it could have been so much better......
