I started reading this series several years ago when I found book #1 in the box of books that my guys that bring me books, brought to me. The series is about a group of eight guys that grew up in foster care together and always had each other's backs. When they aged out of the system...one of them from book #1 who had become a successful doctor, had the idea to build an apartment complex from an abandoned warehouse and provide a place that they all could live their individual lives but be there for one another, as they had in childhood. Each book in the series builds on and includes the characters from the previous book. This one is about Richie. He is the only one of the eight foster brothers that is bisexual. He's mostly dated women including the self-centered gold-digger, Patrice. Richie is very attracted to his fire fighter partner, Cam. Cam and Richie are best friends as the story starts, with Cam claiming he's straight and often coming to blows with the fire station's homophobe, Shane, who I hated from the start. Richie's brothers understand his feeling for Cam. The conflict centers around Cam's self-image. Patrice doesn't like being casted aside, so she waltzes back in with a bombshell package of complication which only adds to Richie's turmoil. The brothers at Vanguard Tower, of course, rally around Richie as Cam finally comes to term with himself making Richie the first Vanguard brother to announce a very special occurrence. This story had so many good surprises. I only gave it 4 stars because of all the turmoil before the Happy ending. ( )
