Reread December 2023: This book is perfection. It will always be perfection. I can't wait to read it again and again.

~~~~~~~~~


Reread April 2022: Hi. I still love this book. So much. More than anything. I mean, this could possibly be my favorite romance book of all time?? I just love this book so much. I love the flirting and the chemistry between Brogan and Embry. I love the mystery and intrigue of the plot. I love the banter in this book. Sometimes it's downright STUPID, but it's always so funny and endearing.

Mario and Brogan at the end? Fucking dumbass twins extraordinaire. I love them.

I love this book. I love how much Brogan and Embry love each other. I love how smart and clever my sweet, sweet Embry is. So many moments got me wanting to rip my heart directly out of my chest. This is one I definitely know I will reread time and time again.

~~~~~~~~~~

Reread January 2021: I knew I'd be reading this again. And guess what. STILL FUCKING LOVE THIS BOOK OH MY GOD.

So good. A little funny. A lot serious. Very romantic. Just really good. Still an all-time favorite.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH MY GOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD.

I wish I could put into words how much I loved this. Damn.

I wasn't crazy about Pucked, and after getting halfway through, I thought to myself, I needed to try something else. So I looked for a standalone. Idk why, but I was slightly hesitant to pick this up at first because I wasn't sure if it was what I wanted at the moment. But I did anyway, and DAMN AM I GLAD I DID.

This ended up being different than what I expected, but in a good way. As I was reading, the Damen and Laurent vibes were soooo real. Brogan was the big guy, tough, and could totally kill you, but also soft as hell. He has this almost perverse sense of justice, just like Damen, in that he'd probably save his worst enemy from being literally stabbed in the back because stabbing a defenseless person in the back is wrong. Then you have Embry: beautiful, well-dressed, wicked mouth, mysterious. If *that* isn't Laurent, idk what is.

Then the way they just fit together? Magic. The thing is, I was more invested into their relationship 20% into this book than I was into Maximoff and Farrow in three books of the Like Us series. Like, I totally bought their chemistry, and was so into it from the very beginning. It was serious and kind of dark at times, but it also had its funny moments. I read the last 60% of it in one day because I just couldn't put it down.

Definitely going to be checking out more from this author!

You know a book is great when you're already thinking about when you're going to reread it, and I know for sure I'm going to read this one again. And now, in retrospect, it kind of sucks that this is the book I chose to pick up after Pucked, because how am I supposed to go back to that dumpster fire after this?
