Buchanan Brothers #2
If You Could Only Imagine
What happens when you think life can’t get any better than it already is?
The shakeup of a lifetime.
Aiden
With the support of his brothers, Aiden Buchanan has always had the edge in life. Born into a world of money, power, and privilege, he was on his way to the next step in life, and that was to join his older brother in running the family business. With his life already mapped out for him-and what a life it is-Aiden is living the perfect life.
Except, he’s really not.
Along with all that wealth and privilege, Aiden had also been raised by a tyrannical father and a neglectful mother, so growing up, he had been absorbed in what true love must feel like, and that had caused a major weakness in his women. If it weren’t for the fact that he was genuinely a decent man, one might consider Aiden to be a bit of a womanizer.
Denise
With nothing but sole determination on her side, Denise Hart has climbed the corporate ladder to be where she is today. A finance account manager for a billion-dollar empire, she has come a long way from the many minimum wage jobs that she’s had in the past. After working for Buchanan Industries for five years, Denise is ready for whatever the future brings.
Except, she’s not as ready as she believed.
Along with all her fortitude and professional success, Denise also has unfortunate issues with race and personal relationships. The only bi-racial daughter of a White father and Black mother, Denise saw firsthand how racism could affect people, and she wasn’t about to invite that kind of sadness and stress into her life. Denise is not about jump into that unwinnable fight.
When determination and self-preservation collide…
When Aiden’s simple handshake rocks him to his core, nothing will ever be the same again. Very aware that his actions are unprofessional, immoral, unethical, and just plain crazy, he’s unconcerned for any of the possible consequences of his actions. He just has to make Denise his, no matter what.
When Denise meets Aiden Buchanan, the meeting is not like anything she had expected it to be. A simple handshake should not have sent shivers down her spine. Not only is he her boss, but he doesn’t tick off any of the boxes that she’s looking for in a man. Like, any of the boxes.
As their worlds come together professionally, their personal connection can’t be ignored, no matter how wrong the attraction might be. The pull is intense. So, what happens when Aiden loses all sense of reason where Denise is concerned? A whole hell of a lot of office drama.
This book contains adult language, adult situations, explicit sexual encounters, racism, and violence. If sensitive to any of the aforementioned issues, please do not purchase.

160 books637 followersThere's not much to add to my bio, I'm pretty boring...LOL. My favorite thing is to read and, last year, I decided to trade in some of those reading hours and try my hand at writing. The experience has been one of the best things I could have ever embarked upon. It's turned into a hobby that is fun and thoroughly enjoyable. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm spending time with my family or friends.

My least favorite of the four..Older woman. Uber manwhore. Excess talk about his love for the "ladies." At least the heroine wasn't a virgin and had some good long term relationships before the hero...kudos for that at least! (lol)

*~*~*~*~*~*
**I’ve had some of the most beautiful women around, naked and underneath me, and even in their full naked glory, none of them ever made me feel a fraction of what this one innocent touch had.**
**Now, my downside…I have always been a lover of women. I think they are God’s most magnificent creation and their differences from man have always fascinated and weakened me. And when I say I love women, I mean I love all women in all their forms. Tall, short, slim, thick, any skin color, any nationality…I fucking love women. They are absolutely beautiful.**
**“I just have to admit, I never thought there’d come a day where one woman would be enough for you.” I was shocked myself, truth be told. My appreciation for women was well known amongst my brothers and to the chagrin of my sister-in-law. When we were younger, I struggled a lot with my weakness.**
**I’ll never forget the feeling that rendered me stupid the first time I ever slipped my dick inside a tight, warm pussy. The sensation was unlike anything I ever imagined. It was a high I wanted to chase to the ends of the earth. It suddenly became crystal clear why men fought wars over women.**
**I’ve had threesomes and even a couple of foursomes with some of the hottest women walking the planet. I’ve had women with no gag reflex and who have begged to have me in their ass on the first fucking night. The most beautiful faces to the hottest hour glass figures, and not one of those experiences or women have ever made me feel an ounce of what I felt with Denise when we shook hands.**
**“Yeah, that kiss,” he smirked, “was the best fucking kiss of my life. And, believe me, I’ve kissed a lot of women.” I crossed my arms over my chest and scowled at the jerk. “Are you seriously standing here telling me about all the women you’ve kissed before me?” The nerve of this guy! “No,” he smirked, again. “I’m telling you that that was the best kiss of my life and explaining how I know what I’m talking about.”**
**I’ve brought a lot of pleasure to a lot of women in my day, but nothing compared to this. I wanted to please this woman more than I wanted to take my next breath. I wanted to take her to the brink of madness so she’d forget every other man before me. And I wanted to fuck her so hard, so thorough and so violently that she’ll never want another man after me.**
**I’ve had good sex before. I’ve been in a couple of long-term serious relationships where both men were decent and good. They were giving and caring. My sex life has always been satisfactory. But last night had been like a peek into a world I never knew existed.**
**Usually the only times I felt extreme emotions it was because it involved a woman. Whether we were laughing, fighting or fucking, it didn’t matter. I needed women in my life like every living thing on the planet needed oxygen. I’ve always found women to be the most majestic miracles to ever exist. Fanciful? Maybe. But that’s how I felt.**
**My biggest problem now was the realization that where women were my weakness, Denise had become my kryptonite. I don’t know what it was about her the first time I met her…I mean, yes, she’s stunning, but I’ve met many beautiful women and none of them ever affected me like Denise did when I touched her during that first handshake. She makes every other woman fade into the background and that’s never happened to me before.**
**“Why else would you be here if Aiden wasn’t going to marry you?” he asked, confusing me further. “Aid’s never brought a woman back to his place. Never,” he stressed. “Like never as in not ever, Dibtab.” My mind only processed one thing out of all those words. “Dibtab?” Gabriel rolled his eyes at me. “Yeah. Dibtab.” He twirled his hand in a circle in an encouraging motion for me to get it. When I was still at a loss, he clued me in. “Dibtab. Denise I Belong To Aiden Buchanan.”**
“Fuck you, dude,” I yapped. “I think you’re forgetting that I’m the one who loves women. Out of all of us, I’m the one who’s guaranteed to pick up on a woman’s mood.” Michael snorted at me again. “Kiss my ass, Aiden. You’ve always been the one who’s guaranteed to pick up on when a woman was horny and that’s about it. While your appreciation for the female species is duly noted, this is the first time you’ve ever been in love. You’re going to fuck it up just like most men the first time they don’t know what to do with themselves.” Okay. He might have had a point.
**“I’m going to let you leave because, again, I was wrong and you have every right to be pissed, babe. But this is not over,” I told her. “We are not over. Hell, we will never be over,” I stressed. “But we will figure the rest out together.” Denise shook her head at me. “I’m not doing this, Aiden. I will not risk everything I’ve worked so hard for just to be some rich white guy’s flavor of the month.” Her words had rendered me so shocked, I didn’t even notice when she broke free from my grasp.**
**The truth of the matter was, my issues weren’t all that complex. I was keeping Aiden at arm’s length because of my perceived notions about people with money, status and the heartbreak I’ve witnessed involving interracial couples. I was basically blaming him for the world’s problems.**
**“My brother loves you,” he said, diving straight into the deep end-no lifejacket. “Now, once upon a time, I would have said…‘Aiden? Nah, not Aiden’…because, you see, Aiden loves women-” I threw my hands up in the air and looked at the kid wide-eyed. “Are you kidding me? You came here to tell me how much Aiden loves women?” The ass chuckled. “No, of course not,” he snorted. “I’m here to tell you that you have nothing to feel guilty about and you need to understand that Aiden’s actions reflect more on him than they do you.”**
**“I love you in a way that outshines whatever it is I feel for Shane or any of my brothers. It’s easy to lay my life on the line for any of them. I mean, if I die protecting one of them, well then, I’m just dead. They’d have to deal with the aftermath, but me? I’d be dead without a care in the world. But this thing with you…I risked my reputation, your reputation, the company’s reputation, Mason’s reputation, possible lawsuits, jail time…everything…just for a chance to fucking chase you.” I could feel lone tears trail down the side of my face. “I’m willing to live in the aftermath of this clusterfuck if it means I get to be with you, Dibtab.” I laughed through my quiet tears. “I can’t believe those boys saddled me with that ridiculous name.”**

3.5 Stars! The Buchanan brothers dynasty continues with Aiden Buchanan and his match Denise. Aiden will have to pull out all the stops to show Denise he’s more than his good looks, money, heritage, and position.
Summary:
After surviving a childhood of abuse and neglect, Aiden Buchanan is just happy to be mentally stable. For the most part. As far as anyone knows, his only weakness is women. Women render Aiden awestruck and he adores any and all types. So imagine his surprise when that special appreciation for the ladies comes to an abrupt halt with just a handshake. Denise Hart doesn’t take anything she’s achieved for granted. She has worked hard to rise through the ranks of a billion-dollar empire. After growing up in a loving, single income family, Denise is well aware of the value of a dollar. She loves her job and is determined to prevent anything from interfering with her career. Least of all a handshake. But Aiden Buchanan isn’t like any man she’s ever known. He’s gone from the easy-going boss to a raving lunatic in the blink of an eye. What happens when Aiden loses all reason regarding Denise and makes it his mission to make her see the light? His Light. Fireworks. That’s what happens.
I’m really enjoying the Buchanan brothers and seeing them finding their matches. I think a lot of what draws me in is the characters and the interrelationships. The Buchanans are a close-knit, bonded group of brothers, and I love seeing just how much they rely on each other and turn to each other for all of life’s issues. Aiden was a little more laid back than Mason and definitely a lot warmer, but still just as intense. He may have sampled a lot of women in his past, appreciating every single one, but once he found his match, he buckled down and steamrolled right ahead in a true alpha possessive manner. In fact, his immediate and focused pursuit of Denise shocked me a little, because I wasn’t expecting that level of intensity from him. Denise annoyed me a little bit. She was hardworking, caring, sweet, and sassy, but after a while her insecurities just started to grate. I understand her issues surrounding entering an interracial relationship. I’m Mulatto and married to a Caucasian man myself. It’s not always an easy world to navigate. That said, I felt she held onto that fear and was stubbornly refusing to move past it for too long. As a couple, they were definitely hot and intense. They had some truly steamy moments, and I loved seeing the love blossom so quickly. Just like with Mason and Shane’s story, If You Could Only Imagine was a quick, steamy read. I appreciate that there is some drama, but that it’s not the variety that overwhelms and consumes the reader. It’s more like a nice romantic dramedy that cleanses the mental palette. I’m still really looking forward to Gabriel and Michael’s books. The events that happened between the boys and their parents up to now, have me intrigued as to whether we’ll see more in future.♡

The five days it took me to finish this were not refuel ecru right of the story itself. I’m currently going through my book collection, getting ready for my bookshelves, and I have like zero time to read😭!!
Aiden’s story, at first, was disappointing. Only because it’s an office romance, Aiden has already graduated college, and I was looking forward to more of that setting.
So Aiden, the woman lover, has met his woman. Denise has worked her way into the position she holds at Buchanan Industries. She comes from a family with a housewife and a worker, so she’s used to working for what she has. She’s attracted to Aiden but some things stand in their way of happiness; his wealth, his race, his age, and the fact that he’s Denise’s boss.
I got tired of the race issue. I get it, I do. I’m a mixed person myself, of the blaxican variety, but because she’s mixed, I felt like she should’ve been a little more used to the idea of a mixed relationship. But, wtf do I know. Anyway, Aiden and his brothers were amazing to Denise.
I loved Aidens caveman ways. He didn’t take Denise’s no for anything. He knew what he wanted, knew that they’d make each other happy, and refused to settle for less- even with all her concerns in the way.
This, like the first novella, read like a full length story, and I’m surprised and pleased with the authors ability to make a novella feel complete. The only problem I had with the story, and one of the reasons it didn’t receive 5 stars from me was the wedding at the end. Who the fuck wants to get married at work?!! I would’ve liked it better if he took her to the courthouse. A work wedding is lame af. I don’t give a shit how desperate he was to have her. I feel strongly about that shit.
Anyway, this was 3.95/4 star-ish for me!

The errors are SUPER distracting!
Just because it’s an ebook doesn’t mean you should skimp on a good editor.
Anyway, I still love this group of characters and I can’t wait to read Michael’s book. But of course, he’s the last one. My real only issue was the errors and the stupid reasons for the conflict.
Her issues were race, age, wealth, social class and that he was her new boss. While all of the female leads issues had a point, I felt they were ridiculously trumped up grounds for a conflict. Except for the age one that is, once your an adult age is a stupid consideration. The only real issue out of all of them was that he was her boss. And only because it can cause legal issues if the relationship had failed. So I could see her point with that one.
Anyway, I’m invested in the brothers all getting their HEA’s, so I’m off to start book three. But the errors are killing me. I’m not sure if I’ll continue with this author now because of it. We’ll see how the next one goes. Enjoy!

AIDEN and DENISE
Well, I was right about this series. Aiden and Denise did not disappoint at all, and the appearance of the rest of the Buchanan clan is just the perfect icing!
Denise has struggled her entire life, as a mix-colored woman, low-income home, making ends meet with odd jobs, battling stereotypes, racism, hate and judgement all the way. When she gets a chance for a great job, she jumps on it, and eventually it lands here at Buchanan Industries, and nothing is going to tarnish that.
Aiden has finally graduated and is now joining the company heading the accounting department, and in true Buchanan fashion, he takes one look at Denise and looses his mind, falling hook, line, and sinker, forever.
Aiden and Denise set the pages on fire! Oh my! Now this is what an office romance should feel like. Uncontrolled, unbridled, passionate, dramatic, and teeming with office gossip. The attraction to each other is instantaneous, and I love how M.E. Clayton describes it.
Denise: He smiled down at me and I could feel my ovaries laying down in surrender. They were waving their little, white flags and everything.
Aiden: But, now, standing in Denise Hart’s office, I wanted to use my last name and connections to lock her door, rip her clothes off and fuck her on every surface of the room.
I could swear a bolt of lightning traveled throughout my body at the contact. I had felt nothing like it in all my life.
Aiden has always appreciated women, he worships them and is in awe of everything female, but Denise makes all of them fade away. She makes him feel something he has never felt.
One tryst in their office, and he knows that now nothing, not even Denise’s hang ups will allow him to back off, and give her any space.
“Her presence is hypnotizing, and I swear, I can feel her touch deep down in my soul.”
Denise has a lot of ghosts in her head. Growing up they way she did, she has certain rules when it comes to the opposite sex. NO bosses, NO rich dudes, NO younger men, and NO white dudes.
Aiden fits none of this. He is exact opposite of who she imagined herself with.
But Aiden is a Buchanan, and he will not back down. He will use the biggest weapon he has towards Denise, their mutual desire and heat, until he manages to make her fall hopelessly fall in love with him.
I love how Aiden went directly to Mason and confessed his feelings the next moment after he met her. Even the trouble he went through to make sure she doesn’t face any backlash at the office towards them ‘dating’ was handled so well! He made sure she felt secure, and isn’t that the best feeling ever!
She had me addicted to everything about her, and I was not looking for a cure.
These Buchanan men stand by each other no matter what. If Aiden wants Denise, then, these brothers will always be there to make sure it happens. But honestly Micheal has been my absolute favorite! He is the best, unhinged brother I have read so far. Just too sweet!
“God made sure man would never feel complete without the right woman by his side. A woman’s love, little brother, is our rib being snapped back into place.”
When women are written about like this is when I feel all gooey about reading alpha-men. These men might be the dominant one in the relationship, but they revere their woman. She is the one who holds all the power.
The sex is in-a-way taboo, sexy, hot, kinky and did I mention the dirty talk was OMG, not to mention the walking on a thin line between desire and dub-non, a claiming of sorts, everywhere in the office.
Aiden had come across like a man possessed and his actions and reactions had busted open the lid on my sexual confidence. The more he possessed me, the sluttier I became. And the sluttier I became, the more possessed Aiden became.
Her introduction to the twin was the best part of this book. LOL. The name they gave her. DIBTAB! Denise, I Belong to Aiden Buchanan. Simply perfection. LOL
The challenge came when trying to balance his desire, her respect in the office, his caveman, jealous-possessive ways and fighting her issues. And boy, does Aiden screw up or what.
His little insecurity and jealousy lead to her professionalism being called into question and really messed with her head, prompting her to make a clean break.
But when one Buchanan messes up, they all do an apologetic clean sweep. Aiden won’t let her get away, Mason gives her the truth about their relationship and his trust, Micheal makes her realize she loves Aiden, and Shane gives her a professional solution to her career.
TEAM DIBTAB for the win.
“If you make a woman, feel safe, she will trust you with everything she’s got. She’ll trust you with her love, her soul, her thoughts, her fears, her body, her desires, her insecurities, her everything. Because, if she feels safe, she’ll make herself believe that you will never hurt her or let anything else hurt her.
With Denise, if you make her feels safe…age, race, work, money…none of it will touch her if she trusts you to stop it from attacking to her.”
And the dialogues: My Heart! It not poetry, but its close enough for me. LOL
“I love you in a way that I’m going to end up driving you crazy one day, I’m sure. But our one day is starting right now, Denise.”
PS: I think I might just end up liking this series better than the Enemy Series. Also again, Micheal, he is just the best. Cannot wait to read his story.

“God made sure man would never feel complete without the right woman by his side. A woman’s love, little brother, is our rib being snapped back into place.”
When women are written about like this is when I feel all gooey about reading alpha-men. These men might be the dominant one in the relationship, but they revere their woman. She is the one who holds all the power.
The sex is in-a-way taboo, sexy, hot, kinky and did I mention the dirty talk was OMG, not to mention the walking on a thin line between desire and dub-non, a claiming of sorts, everywhere in the office.
Aiden had come across like a man possessed and his actions and reactions had busted open the lid on my sexual confidence. The more he possessed me, the sluttier I became. And the sluttier I became, the more possessed Aiden became.
Her introduction to the twin was the best part of this book. LOL. The name they gave her. DIBTAB! Denise, I Belong to Aiden Buchanan. Simply perfection. LOL
The challenge came when trying to balance his desire, her respect in the office, his caveman, jealous-possessive ways and fighting her issues. And boy, does Aiden screw up or what.
His little insecurity and jealousy lead to her professionalism being called into question and really messed with her head, prompting her to make a clean break.
But when one Buchanan messes up, they all do an apologetic clean sweep. Aiden won’t let her get away, Mason gives her the truth about their relationship and his trust, Micheal makes her realize she loves Aiden, and Shane gives her a professional solution to her career.
TEAM DIBTAB for the win.
“If you make a woman, feel safe, she will trust you with everything she’s got. She’ll trust you with her love, her soul, her thoughts, her fears, her body, her desires, her insecurities, her everything. Because, if she feels safe, she’ll make herself believe that you will never hurt her or let anything else hurt her.
With Denise, if you make her feels safe…age, race, work, money…none of it will touch her if she trusts you to stop it from attacking to her.”
And the dialogues: My Heart! It not poetry, but its close enough for me. LOL
“I love you in a way that I’m going to end up driving you crazy one day, I’m sure. But our one day is starting right now, Denise.”
PS: I think I might just end up liking this series better than the Enemy Series. Also again, Micheal, he is just the best. Cannot wait to read his story.

AIDEN and DENISE
Well, I was right about this series. Aiden and Denise did not disappoint at all, and the appearance of the rest of the Buchanan clan is just the perfect icing!
Denise has struggled her entire life, as a mix-colored woman, low-income home, making ends meet with odd jobs, battling stereotypes, racism, hate and judgement all the way. When she gets a chance for a great job, she jumps on it, and eventually it lands here at Buchanan Industries, and nothing is going to tarnish that.
Aiden has finally graduated and is now joining the company heading the accounting department, and in true Buchanan fashion, he takes one look at Denise and looses his mind, falling hook, line, and sinker, forever.
Aiden and Denise set the pages on fire! Oh my! Now this is what an office romance should feel like. Uncontrolled, unbridled, passionate, dramatic, and teeming with office gossip. The attraction to each other is instantaneous, and I love how M.E. Clayton describes it.
Denise: He smiled down at me and I could feel my ovaries laying down in surrender. They were waving their little, white flags and everything.
Aiden: But, now, standing in Denise Hart’s office, I wanted to use my last name and connections to lock her door, rip her clothes off and fuck her on every surface of the room.
I could swear a bolt of lightning traveled throughout my body at the contact. I had felt nothing like it in all my life.
Aiden has always appreciated women, he worships them and is in awe of everything female, but Denise makes all of them fade away. She makes him feel something he has never felt.
One tryst in their office, and he knows that now nothing, not even Denise’s hang ups will allow him to back off, and give her any space.
“Her presence is hypnotizing, and I swear, I can feel her touch deep down in my soul.”
Denise has a lot of ghosts in her head. Growing up they way she did, she has certain rules when it comes to the opposite sex. NO bosses, NO rich dudes, NO younger men, and NO white dudes.
Aiden fits none of this. He is exact opposite of who she imagined herself with.
But Aiden is a Buchanan, and he will not back down. He will use the biggest weapon he has towards Denise, their mutual desire and heat, until he manages to make her fall hopelessly fall in love with him.
I love how Aiden went directly to Mason and confessed his feelings the next moment after he met her. Even the trouble he went through to make sure she doesn’t face any backlash at the office towards them ‘dating’ was handled so well! He made sure she felt secure, and isn’t that the best feeling ever!

3.5⭐️Aiden and Denise❤️
This was another good instalove which I LOVE! What I don’t care for is a manho H…yep and we get to listen to him talk about how much he LOVES women🙄 Fortunately there is absolutely no OW drama at all🙌🏻 There is never any doubt how much he loves Denise! We get another glimpse of the brothers AWFUL father😡He had to cause more trouble…
Older heroine by 4 yrs and she is biracial which she struggles with in their relationship. I love how the brothers stand by each other 100% and that extends to the h as well in each book!
Weird marriage/proposal but Aiden wasted no time making Denise his wife

Needs editing
I really regretting this whole series as a bundle. Each "book" is only novella length, so really overpriced. In addition, this needs editing. There are incorrect word choices, and the timeline doesn't hang together, which throws me out of the story. Could have been so much better.

...i couldn't help it.
I jumped straight into this one after reading Masons book and his brother Aiden had me intrigued as to what kind of man he was.
And holy hecka did I like this guy!
Denise was awesome too.
I don't really have much to say here other than, I am liking this series so much I'm going to give myself a dinner break than heading back in to read book 3!!!

This was all over the place. I still enjoyed it. I admired the heroine greatly. My biggest complaint is that Aiden was supposed to be
“As for me, I could calculate shit in my head. Numbers, situations, odds, whatever…I could move the pieces around in my head and find their solutions.”
I don’t recall him doing any of this in the book. That’s disappointing. Michael’s stealing the show.

I didn't finish this book, so I am being unfair but it did not connect with me. I read Buchanan Brothers book 1, then 4 then 3 which is my favorite and then I went back and tried to read 2 and cannot get into the story.

Very good. Not as good as the first book, but good.
I love that Denise didn't take any shit.
I also want to say that I appreciate that they only talked about the fact they'd had anal and didn't actually graphically detail it.

This was okay.
The seemingly devotion and god-like regard for Shane came out of nowhere, but ok I’ll take it.
Denise and Aiden’s chemistry is not as strong as Mason and Shanes but it’s fine.
OTT trope still did its job.

Office romance. He sees her, it's love at first sight.
I was annoyed at how we're told they spend the night together, without any details.

I really loved all the books in the series. The brothers are top alpha males. I expected their behavior in these books. I do not understand the negative reviews...

TW/CW: Racism
Aside from the bonus "epilogue" book, this is my least favorite of the Buchanan Brothers series. It's not all bad. There are things that I liked, but the major things I didn't superseded the little I did.
I liked Denise, to an extent. My problem with her is how she is absolutely fine with Aiden's constant gushing about how important Shane is to him. In all other respects, Denise was a confident, strong, successful woman. But the fact that she didn't mind playing second fiddle to Shane was a huge problem for me. It really didn't matter how much I liked her otherwise, I couldn't get over this.
There was a slight age gap, with Denise being the older one in the couple. I loved that.
Aiden was our first, and only "man whore" in this series. Even Mason, who had random hookups before getting with Shane, wasn't written as particularly promiscuous. While they didn't show Aiden with other women, and once he met Denise, he was completely, physically faithful to her (again, Shane being put on a pedestal here reeks of emotional infidelity). We are, however, constantly reminded that Aiden "loves women". While this isn't specific to him only loving women in the sexual sense, we do get the idea that he's been with a lot of women. I usually have more of a problem with the "man whore" trope, as it's incredibly over done. I didn't mind it as much here because three out of four of the brothers in this series don't fit within that trope, and that is a rarity. I'm more than willing to overlook this one. My only issue with this part of the story is the amount of times we are told of Aiden's love for women. This is a novella length book. Repeating anything is unnecessary.
We definitely get insta-lust/love. I felt this worked better in Mason's book than it did here. Once Aiden was "in", he was in. I didn't like the lack of respect he showed Denise. Both with the Shane situation, and with how he pursued her relentlessly, and then defined their relationship without asking her what she wanted.
I want to mention that this book does deal with racism. Denise is black, and Aiden is white. While most characters in this book are supportive of their relationship, one of the main plot points here is that the Buchanan patriarch (who we've seen previously, and we already know to be a terrible person) is not happy with Aiden being with Denise for no other reason than the color of her skin. This is quickly dealt with. None of the main characters are shown to be racist.
All in all, this one was not a win for me. Gabe's story is up next and (spoiler) that one gets a much better review from me.
