Everyone gave Mello sh*t about his denial when it came to his feelings for Arlo and it really felt like proper family ribbing. The group text chats were hilarious and a highlight in the book for me. I absolutely loved the banter between all the cousins and their partners. This is a slow burn that goes up in flames once Mello decides that his feelings are real. He bumps into Arlo and ends up rescuing her….twice! Later he that he’s ready to kick his womanising ways and settle down, but his cousin Lily (from Spark - book 6) decides a fake relationship with Arlo will be a great way to get some “practice” in preparation for finding Miss. Great characters & some seriously funny text chatsĬarmello is Rocco’s twin who we met in Ember the previous book and he is also struggling with the event that changed both of their lives over 10 years ago. If everyone could have a family such as them, this world would be so much better. I still loved hearing the story and I'll still listen to Rosie's book as well. It feel it just makes the characters feel more connected in my opinion. I read romance for those reasons but I also understand why the book was written as it was to show that Mello felt more than just sex for Arlo and that there was more to Mello than sex. His brothers book was lacking as well in that department. With the type of person Carmello was written as, there should have been way more.

Granted there was a few scenes where they play around but even those had very little detail. When you have Connor narrating, you need so much more. the whole scene only lasted about 3 minutes. First, they only have sex one time at the end. I liked this book and I loved the fact that Connor Crais narrated just about all of it, but there are a few exceptions.
