This is book 5 in the Divergent Omegaverse series. While not strictly necessary, I do personally recommend that you read the other books before this one. There is some recap of what happened at the factory here, but you don't get it all. And you DO need it all. There is also overlap in timelines with these books. These brothers are falling hard and fast and so close together!
Rue is the youngest Starling brother, but by no means the smallest. He's a rhino. He came into the Starling family after the worst night of his life. Monty is Rue's PA and they share a night after a visit to the above mentioned factory and Rue is emotional. But Rue knows Monty, while enough, would never fully satisfy Rue. Enter Kendrick, the bar tender in town at the ranch the brothers are visiting. HE knows what he likes: he likes to watch, to watch and direct couples before he joins. A visit to the bar for Monty and Rue, and an event which changes everyone.
What I liked MOST about this, was the deeply emotional connection that all three men find after just one time. How much Kendrick loves having them in his home, after being single for so long. How much at home all three men feel in each other's company. And how much both Monty and Kendrick want Rue to drop his walls.
It's those walls that went up after that awful night. I'm not telling you what happened, you need to hear it from Rue but it really is shattering. And you understand why Rue feels as he does.
Obviously, as this is a three way, the smexy bits are hawt! But it really is the connection they form that stands out for me in this book.
We are introduced to the Thorn brothers in this book, but I've already ready Blood of The Damned : Thorn.
I love the group chats. The brothers and the PAs. So much ribbing of each other, but the love between them shines out the page.
Not sure who is next, whether they are in this series, or this world. I don't care, I need to read it!
