It's okay.
Not my favourite troupe, Hero too tortured for a relationship, doesn't know what love is.
Hero and heroine has a friends with benefits arrangement, the heroine would like more.
Pushing away from the Hero when the heroine crosses the line.
Pretty predictable, the heroine has a dangerous situation and the Hero of course protects her and gets over his issues.
Secondary characters introduced for future books in series and previous characters from previous books appear.
HEA.

My entire Monday was spent on devouring this book by Melanie Moreland. When the first chapter of Bentley was read, I said "I need to know more about this friend of his." He is funny, and charming. That friend who is always there to lend a hand and help you out. I love a man who can make you laugh and laugh at himself. He is protective of those around him so all the boxes for my 'book boyfriend' were checked off.

But this man has layers.

So many layers.

I didn't expect Aiden to take me on the emotional journey of learning to open your heart and acceptance. We all find our space in life. Carve out the protective moat and allow only a few in. Aiden not only doesn't desire a long term relationship, he deems himself unworthy. But he wiggles under your skin where you can't help but want him to find his happy.

Cami is the perfect heroine. She's out to save the hero from himself, but not at the cost of losing herself. After a personal wake up call, she realizes that sometimes showing love is by setting it free. Each character struggles with their personal demons, but it's Cami's strength that pulls them through.

This has been an unexpected but wholly delightful journey in watching the men of BAM tell their stories. Next up is the final letter. I do not doubt Melanie Moreland will disappoint but grow stronger as we get to know Maddox. 5 out of 5 everyone deserves to be loved stars.


Readers get a sneak peek with the prologue of Aiden in book 1- Bentley. Just so all my book friends are clear:

4.4 stars

I'm enjoying this series of standalones. Each book continues with a new set of the main characters from where the previous one had left off. There isn't an epilogue which took some getting used to as I generally like seeing where the story is going in the future.

Great bunch of characters that are family more than just friends. Looking forward to Maddox story next. ( )

He's the life of the party when everyone's around. Aiden knows how to turn on the charm and make the whole world his stage, but when the lights tone down and the crowds disappear his demons continue to haunt and push him around. Cami brings light into an often dark place. She sees the shadows that linger in his eyes and longs to rescue his soul. Can the boy that nobody wanted become the man she needs him to be? A broken heart, a damaged soul and an unlikely heroine light up the night with compassion and romance. Moreland fires up the senses with some wicked temptation and heartfelt motivation. Inspiration is only an alpha away. ( )
