Filthy Beautiful Lust (Filthy Beautiful Lies, #3) (Filthy Beautiful, #3)

If you've read the first two book in the Filthy Beautiful Lies series, than you probably think Pace Drake is the world biggest playboy and could never settle for one woman. But what everyone thinks about this man and what he's really like are a bit different. Yes, he's slept with many woman. But it only takes one to make a man see where his future lies and for Pace....that woman is Kylie Sloan.

I loved Pace in Colton's books. He was the brother that would stand behind you when you needed it, tell you when your head was up your ass or just be there for you. I was so happy Kendall Ryan was giving him his own story, because I knew there was more to Pace when we got our first glimpse of Pace with Max. He was a man who had a lot of potential, he just needed a reason to throw his playboy ways behind him. Of course, he find that reason in Colton's employee. He was warned away from her, but he couldn't help but be someone that could help lesson Kylie's burdens. He knew nothing about being a single parent, but he kept putting himself out there with her, not knowing if he was ever going to get this gun-shy woman to trust his feelings towards her. I was pretty sure I was ready for Pace to come help distract me from some of my day-to-day craziness if Kylie wasn't open to his line of helping.

As a mom, I knew where Kylie was coming from and could understand her need to protect herself and her son from falling for a man who I thought might not stick around. But I couldn't understand how she could push Pace away, when he's never given her any reason to doubt him, despite what his past might say about him. But was quick to give Max's father a second chance when he's abandoned her when she needed him most. It was frustrating, even when I could sympathize with her situation and understand how she struggled to make the right decision for herself and her son.

As much as I loved Colton's books, I think Pace is my favorite Drake brother. There was so much more to this man than just his sex god looks. The author did a fantastic job of giving Pace a depth that demonstrated his struggles with his feelings for this woman and her son versus who he was minutes before he realized Kylie really did need him. You don't have to agree with everything Pace did, but it was hard to deny that he was the perfect man for Kylie and father to Max.

Another fabulously delicious read from Kendall Ryan. She's a must read author for me and never disappoints in giving readers a book that doesn't allow for you to put it down until the very last page is read.
