This book...gah this book made me cry! And it wasn't even Sam and Peck that did it either. Shame on you Logan for making me cry! Seriously, it was so emotional, not just for the characters but for the readers who have been following this series since the very beginning and have devoted years to these characters. Okay, Logan has hogged up enough space for Sam and Peck's review. Loved that Sam finally fell on the Reed wagon and found the girl for him. And man was he very serious when it came time for his turn. He would not give up on Peck and that is exactly how he had to handle her with Peck's past. And good for Peck to make him work a little bit more than Sam is used to. Such a man-whore. He needed to fully understand the depths of his feelings but once he did, it was game over for Peck's single days. I loved this. But then again I love this series so I'm not surprised. I am so glad to hear that there will be a ton more books coming out and I'm sure that even thought it will be the Zeroes's turns, we will definitely be seeing all of the Reeds in the upcoming novels. My favorite family is back!I can't help but share this line from the book because it was the perfect description of the Reed family:“The Reeds take people in like they’re family. Anyone. The only requirement is that you have a pulse. And if you don’t have a heart, they'll give you theirs."This book was about Sam, the last man standing - the last bachelor in the family. Playful, a prankster, hot like his brothers, and with a big heart, a standard quality if you were a Reed. He was a pro-football player who also loved to cook. Being good-looking and ripped plus a career that put him in the spotlight made him an irresistible commodityfor girls, but too bad for them, he had his eyes set on a special girl.Peck, short for woodpecker, was the drummer for a famous girl band that became friends with the Reed family. She grew up in a foster home before being adopted, which meant she witnessed neglect, pain and low self-esteem before she knew how it was to be loved. She had insecurities and fears, normal for a girl with her background.But then we knew how the Reed boys were, right? Patient, charming, devoted, passionate.. wrapped in a gorgeous package. If there was a boy who could heal a broken spirit, that would be a Reed. If there was a boy who could make you feel beautiful despite a lifetime of believing the opposite, that would be a Reed.If there was a frozen heart to melt, you can count on a Reed.If there was a self-worth to restore, you can count on a Reed.They had the ability to love like no one can.These Reed boys made me a feel like I was in seventh heaven. I loved them collectively, but I also loved them with their individual striking characteristics. It was bittersweet reading Sam's book because much as I wanted to see him get his HEA, that would also mean the last book focused on these guys I've come to love. There was a scene towards the end of the book where one of the guys made a pivotal decision that made me cry so hard. Don't worry, it was a good cry though. The love and support these characters had for each other were unparalleled. This also served as sort of a bridge between the Reeds and the Fallen from Zero girls. Those girls were hilarious. Just a snippet of said wit:“What do I do?”“Him,” Fin calls. “Do him. Then let him do you. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.”I can already tell I will have a great time reading the books about them too.
Do You like book Zip, Zero, Zilch (2014)?
As much as I love the series, this didn't live up to the others. There wasn't much of a plot... :(

Loved it! A great way of introducing "new" characters that will be seen in the following books!
