Gabriel Buchanan’s loyalty runs deep if you’re fortunate enough to be one of the few people in his life that he loves. He would do anything for his brothers, even if that meant he’d end up having to purchase a tarp and a shovel for one of them. However, his utter devotion is reserved for the only girl he’s been in love with since he was 15-years-old. Gabriel has loved Justice Hillman all his … life, and even when he went off to college, his relationship with her had never been in question. But, soon, Gabriel learns everything isn’t as cozy at it seems.
Justice Hillman has been in love with Gabriel Buchanan for six years. And, in all of those six years, there has never been a time when she wasn’t waiting by the phone-or in her bed-for him. Even at the young age of 15, Justice knew boys like Gabriel didn’t end up with girls who grew up in a trailer park, but she was more than happy to ride the wave for as long as she could. However, now at the age of 22, casual sex is no longer enough for her. She’s 22 and ready to move on to a serious relationship and, possibly, marriage.
What happens when Gabriel realizes that he might lose Justice? A little bit of insanity and…well, Las Vegas.

3.5 Stars! The first Buchanan twin, Gabriel, is in the hot seat now. Will Gabe find his perfect match like his older brothers? Or has he had her all along?
Summary:
Gabriel Buchanan’s loyalty runs deep, and he’d do anything for his brothers. Where his brothers have begun to find the women who deserve their love and devotion, Gabe found his early in life. At fifteen years old to be exact. He’s loved her his whole life, not questioning their relationship even when he went away to college. But all too quickly, the solid relationship ground Gabe thought he was on begins to crumble. Justice Hillman has loved Gabe for six years. Since they met, there hasn’t been a time she wasn’t waiting to spend time with him or get his infrequent calls and texts. Justice was just happy to have the attention of someone like Gabe. She was nothing special; the stereotypical girl from the trailer park. But she never turned down the chance to be with him, taking everything she could get while she had it. Content with what she was given. Now, at the age of twenty-two, it’s not enough any more. Justice wants more; a serious relationship, marriage, and a family of her own. She’s determined to let Gabriel go and get over him. But Gabe doesn’t agree, and what happens when he realizes he may just lose the love of his life? Las Vegas happens. Las Vegas and a touch of insanity.
I’ve been looking forward to Gabriel and Michael’s books since we met them in Mason’s book. The twins always seemed playful, loyal and very entertaining. I wasn’t at all disappointed. Before now, we got snippets of the twins but not a lot of detail. I also felt like we saw less of Gabe than we did Michael. That made Gabe a bit of a mystery in my eyes. He did turn out to be somewhat playful and fun, but he could also hold his own with the signature Buchanan intensity. I loved that he fell back so heavily on the close-knit support of his family. Justice was pretty great. I loved how she expressed her personality with her hair color and appearance in general. She was a cool chick. I also liked that she was able to step back and see that her situation wasn’t as dire as she thought. I loved that she could see that she needed to be the one to speak up when she wanted things to change. As a couple, I loved Gabe and Justice. I’m a sucker for high school sweethearts, and even with the drama unfolding on top of other drama, you can just feel that deep-seated connection. They had some miscommunication issues, but it was also clear they had something special. In the end, I really enjoyed Gabe and Justice’s story. I was a little irritated that they had been together for six years and so much knowledge about the other was missing, but I still liked seeing them become a firm couple. I just couldn’t fathom spending time with someone, even in bed, without small things being learned. I always love the Buchanans in general, so seeing the other couples pop in and out was fun and gave us the chance to catch up. Getting caught up in the Buchanans wasn’t my intention, but I’m glad these books popped up on my reccies because I’m enjoying the mostly light romantic dramedies. I like the quick reads and getting to know the somewhat crazy family.
