I've enjoyed the little snippets of Hugh over the last couple of books in this series, how the author has been setting his personality change up for this book. The character of Hugh has always been referred to as the fast and loose risk taking sibling. Ms. Foster has shown us that he's been ready to change for a while with his little side conversations with various siblings in their stories. That made his treatment of Bree and his disgust with his blind date much easier for me to accept as a reader.

Of course, Hugh is a Braden. So that means that, no matter his reputation, I expected him to be a gentleman. And was he ever. Without getting into spoilers here, there is a bit more suspension of disbelief in this story than in any of the others when it comes to the swiftness of the love. But that's okay, as usual I'm fine with that in a novel. As much as the insta-love was faster than ever, the sex took a bit longer in this one. And that's where Hugh's gentlemanly powers came into play.

As for our heroine, Bree was as protective as I would expect a single mother to be. Maybe even a bit too much at times, but being a mom myself I could understand her reservations.

All in all, this book was a fantastic end to the Braden part of this series and I cannot wait to dive further into the Remington branch of the tree.
