I was sitting between a 3 and four stars with this one. We all know that I'm trash for Alexa Riley's standalones, but it's no secret that I was not a fan of the first book in this series. When I saw this was available to request on Netgalley, I requested it just to see if it got better. And it did.
Now it still had faults, but I actually enjoyed the romance between Jay and Jordan. That's what ended up giving it the four star rating. This had the insta love that I crave and they were simply adorable to read about.
When Jordan finally wanted to get out the friend zone and show Jay that he intended to claim her, MAN it got hot! I loved seeing his possessive side come out. Poor Jay didn't know what hit her.
Like I said earlier the book did have its faults. I was getting quite annoyed with Jay when she started getting threatened. Like rolling my eyes annoyed.
All in all, it was a good read with romance and suspense together. I recommend if you like Alexa Riley but always wanted a longer book from them!
