First I should start off by saying I haven't read any of the other books in the series. And although I wasn't lost I assume that more background about Greer and his parent's murders was probably included in the first four books of the series. Although I did fine reading this as a standalone, I would suggest starting with the first book to get the full background stories for all these brothers.
On to my review. I REALLY liked this one. It was fast-paced and well-written. The story starts off with a bang and the twists and turns just keep coming through the entirety of the book. It was also surprisingly emotional. I was in tears on more than a few occasions.
Greer was such a broken character. There were times I would go from wanting to strangle him to wanting to hug him to death in the span of a few pages. His relationship with his brothers made my heart burst. Especially that epilogue. I am sure if you've read every book in the series that final chapter will be like the cherry on top of the cupcake. Natalie was the type of heroine I adore. She was tough and strong when she needed to be and I liked that she didn't let Greer treat her like dirt just because he was suffering.
Of course, we have a great cast of secondary characters since the majority are the brothers (and their wives) from the previous books. As well as Natalie's nephew Andy. Not much left to say really. This was just a really great read and I look forward to going back and starting this series from the beginning.
