I love Aiden Bates books and his writing style. This was the first one that I have read with a co-author...I think I prefer his books to be solo. Jamie was almost perfect. Nico was adorable and Malcomb needed to have a rude awakening. I thought "The Rule" that was made by the older of the 8 brothers became outdated as the boys grew up. I was surprised that all of them took it so seriously after they were all adults. Still a good story and I can't wait to read the story of the other brothers. ( )
