While Andreas had the whole marriage proposal planned for a while, when the day finally came he was SO nerves. It was endearing. While Darren saying yes was a given, what happens next was and wasn't.. I didn't think about it before but actually we didn't know ANYTHING about Andreas' family. I didn't know he even HAS living parents.. There's a reason for that.. While his father is actually a nice guy his mother is the DEVIL. He knew what would happen once she hears about the marriage and her general attitude is going to be, so poor Darren for not realizing what he's going to deal with not only on the wedding day but on a dinner before that, the lunch at HIS parents, the reversal... yep.. it's going to be HELL.
Planning a wedding it not fun. I don't think ANYONE consider it to be (except for wedding planners?) But I guess most people get somewhat excited about it? I don't. I don't have any desire to get married, not the traditional way anyhow.. So I got why Darren and Andreas kept joking about eloping. It was all SO exhausting and with Andreas' mother making mean comments to EVERYONE it was even worse, but even with all that I LOVED that they were keeping their head straight. They made the best they could and mostly they respected one another and remembered that in the end what REALLY mattered was THEM and being happy TOGETHER. The wedding is just the ceremony. What counts is everything that happens before and after and defines them as a couple.
I LOVED how their story ended. The vows, they were BEYOND amazing. Andreas might THINK he isn't a romantic but he is as sappy as they come, he just needs the right motivation that brings it all out of him - Darren. Darren is a sweet heart, he was from the start, though seeing him getting MAD and especially for others' sake and not his own, was a sight to behold! In the end it's what both of them needed to make their wedding everything THEY wanted it to be and not just cater to others wishes.
It's time to say farewell Darren and Andreas. I'll miss you, though I'm happy you got your HEA. It's going to be a perfect and imperfect future for sure. I'm happy. I'm sad. My only comfort is a hint we'll get a treat from Cari and Witt and I really can't WAIT for it to be out!

ABOUT THIS SERIES
Bad Behavior is a Romantic MM Suspense series by Cari Z. and L.A. Witt.
It follows the newly partnered Andreas Ruffner an experienced if
non-orthodox detective and rookie Darren Corliss who has just made it
detective. An unlikely couple, yet unlike Andreas' previous partners it
somehow WORKS, better than either of them expected.
This series was simply SUPERB. Though both are confident men who know who they are and what they want they were ego free. Once they realized they COULD trust each other and little by little became friends and lovers they were genuine towards one another, not hiding or playing games. It felt so RIGHT how they interacted. Like two guys who REALLY care for one another and isn't ashamed of it, who is willing to BE THERE for one another in the most basic ways and not think too much of what others (or the other..) would think of it. Every thing they did, every gesture was CLEAR and simply PERFECT.
I LOVED how their romance progressed. There's always A LOT going on around them, but they never forget each other. They look out for one another in every sense possible and they are MEN enough to apologize when it's needed.
I can't praise this series enough. It's well written. Emotional but not overly so. Action packed, but it's not JUST about the action, there is much going on in both Andreas and Darren's families and everything just brings them closer together.
** The 5th installment "Protective Behavior" has a different couple - Detective Mark Thibedeau from Internal Affairs and Dr. Ryan Campbell. It was also an amazing novel, it contained everything I loved about the relationship buildup of Andreas and Darren though naturally it's very different in every other aspect.
OUTSTANDING!
