    I loved this book! Aidan can be read as a stand-alone, but I’ve really enjoyed the entire series so far. I’m not normally a friends-to-lovers fan but Aidan and Sorcha’s relationship had suspense, tension, sweet moments, and of course a happily ever after. I consider this book easy-to-read and light on the mafia aspect so it’s perfect for readers new to the genre. I definitely recommend this book and am excited for the next in the series!

    Aidan is the third book in the Dublin Kings series, but could be read as a standalone. It’s richer read in order, though, with all of the interconnecting characters and overarching storyline. Aidan and Sorcha have been best friends for the past five years, but he’s been keeping a secret from her. When Sorcha is in danger, Aidan will do anything to protect her and her siblings, even marry her. But is he willing to be honest with himself about how he feels, or will this arrangement be over before it can truly begin? Oh my goodness, this book was awesome! I loved the purity of what existed between Aidan and Sorcha, and I loved what their friendship turned into. They’ve been friends for so long, taking the next step is something that they both need to come to terms with, what that means for their future, and how that relates to their hearts. Plus, add in the secrets and added dangers and man, oh man, this book was a rollercoaster of emotions and angst and so many good things! I devoured this book. Who needs to do responsibilities when you have this book to read?! Sorcha was so protective of her siblings, and constantly protected her own heart. She was practical, but I also loved watching her start to dream her own dreams again, including falling in love. Aidan was amazing from page one, protective of Sorcha and what they had together, but so hesitant to change what they had to something more and better. I liked that he had her, as a way to just be himself, and I liked that he was willing to fight for her, follow her, and try to win her heart, eventually. They were fantastic together. I loved that they had their friendship as a solid foundation to their future. There was drama and danger present, too, that had me dying to find out what would happen next! I loved this book! I am loving this series! And I am so excited to see what will come next!
