James
Never good enough.
Not the real son.
I will prove him wrong—prove everyone wrong.
I am someone.
I will succeed.
I don’t need my brother to help me.
I don't need anyone.
My enemy holds my secret.
He teases me.
Taunts me.
Follows me with his eyes.
Our hot, angry kisses keep me up at night.
I don’t want him.
I hate him.
But I can’t stop thinking about him.
That there's more to him
I want to discover him.
The truth is unexpected.
My enemy might not only be my friend but the love I never thought to have.
Malcolm
Live, love, laugh.
Life is too short to worry when you don’t know how long you’ve got.
I want every day to be my best.
Like it’s my last.
My friends see what I let them.
Not the real me.
Only one man has ever crawled beneath my skin.
He drives me crazy.
Makes me wild.
Makes me care.
A night of bad decisions changes the course of my life.
Everything I've known no longer makes sense.
My enemy now stands by my side.
I’m no longer running.
I want to stay.
I want a future.
Hate has changed to something new and wonderful.
Something terrifying.
Uncontrollable.
Love.
All the Stars and all my heart for James and Mal! This book is the last in the Man Up series and my favorite by far. I don't think it can be read as a standalone since we get bits and pieces of James and Mal throughout the books and trust me, you don't want to miss a second of their story.
James was such an integral part of Austin, Rhoades, Frankie and Cort's lives. He seemed grumpy and reserved, even if it's clear he's there for the guys working at Man Up whenever they need him. I knew his story was going to be heartbreaking, but I had no clue at all how much it would impact me, especially when he finally sat down with Rhoades and told him what he'd gone through before and after they met. If I could've revived his father and kill him again, I would've. Not that I was all that happy with Rhoades and how selfish he was with James' feelings. Needless to say that James is one of my all-time favorite Felice Stevens' characters now, he might have even displaced Ash from the first spot, too, that's how much I love him. (Just shhhh, don't tell Ash. ;) )
I liked Malcolm very much. I loved that he was able to push James' buttons and make him feel again. He frustrated me, though, with how stubborn he was about keeping his secret from Rhoades and James.
I loved seeing the progression of their relationship, from the moment they met until they finally get together and seeing how their animosity started. I adored the small signs that showed that there was more than just anger between them. The sparks that flew every time they crossed paths and how they seemed to see through their respective masks. The intensity of their passion, of their feelings, was nearly overwhelming, and that translated in some of the hottest kisses and sex scenes that I've read and a love story that I will surely read again and again.
James—Uncontrollable was a rollercoaster of emotions and a fantastic read. I laughed and cried and haven't been able to stop thinking about James and Mal since I finished the book. And even if I'm sad that this was the last book in the series, I was happy to see it end on such a high note and getting to catch up with all the guys from the previous stories. Definitely a must read!
