My Review:

    When I first heard about this series that Mrs. Rock and Mrs. Mann were working on together I got super excited and couldn't wait to read about these four brothers. Than after reading His Pregnant Princess Bride which followed Gervais and Erika, I got even more excited for this series and couldn't wait to dive into Dempsey's book. But unfortunately that's about where my excitement ends.

    I'm going to try and be negative or upset anyone. But I was just frustrated and dissapointed in both Dempsey's and Adelaide's characters throughout the whole book. 

     I have to say I feel in love with Dempsey's character in the first book. I even really felt for him since he felt like the black sheep of the family. I couldn't wait to get to know him better. In a way we did get to know him better. But in another way we really didn't. It was obvious throughout the whole book how much he wanted to prove himself in this book. Prove to the world even though he was the illegeniment child, that he was a Reynaud. Prove to his brothers that he was family. You could tell how much he cared about his brothers and grandfather.

    I had a really hard time with Adelaide's character. She frustrated me to no end. I just didn't connect with her character at all. And at times found her to be whiney and a bit self absorbed. 

    I thought this book was a good read. I did find that it seemed the characters became a bit repetitive. There also wasn't as much family interaction until the very last couple of chapters when the book seemed to finally pick up. 

    I'm giving this book 3.5 stars out of 5. Now on to the next one!!!
