Oliver's Heart (2011)

I wasn't actually too excited about reading Oliver's story. I felt for him, considering what he'd been through with his father, but his and Micah's story wasn't the reason I was looking forward to this book. Rather, it was because of the Pack in general. I love their dynamics and the way they look after each other and I have a perpetual smile on my face while reading this series. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed the love story as well. Oliver finally came out of his shell. When he arrived at "The Den" he was bitter and resentful, he had been being molested by his father for over a year and was angry at the world for what he'd suffered through since his brother Blair had been kicked out of the house. Micah had patiently been giving Oliver space and making sure everybody understood why Oliver was lashing out, too afraid to hurt or pressure Oliver he had even been keeping his distance since he'd turned 18. Even though there is a lot of humour in the stories and they aren't very long, there are always little comments that break my heart and really make me feel for the characters, such as Johnny's off-hand comment about never having been picked for anyone's team when the mates went to the Rec Center to play basketball. Oliver really came through in his story as well, he finally sat down and talked things through with Blair and he got his well deserved happily ever after.
