Rome
Rome is Rule's older brother. He is back from war and at loose ends. What he didn't count on was a little bit of a woman named Cora. I loved Cora. She is fiercely loyal and does a good job of playing Momma Bear to all of the guys at the shop. She may be small, but she packs a punch. Rome is a really complicated guy. The war has changed him and the people around him don't know what to do with the new person they see. Cora helps everyone realize that they have to learn to love who Rome is now.What I loved about Rome and Cora together was that they were both damaged. They both needed to learn to trust someone else to be able to give their all. Their first interactions weren't all flowers and sunshine. In fact, Rome is the farthest thing from the ideal man that Cora has in mind. It just goes to show you that what we think we want isn't always what we need.
There is a lot of healing that happens in the story, especially between Rome and his family. What Cora did for them was really great. The other thing that I liked was we got to know Asa and Rowdy a bit more. The book ends with a HUGE reveal about Nash. I can't wait to see how that all plays out!
