I really enjoyed this one and getting to meet these characters. I definitely got a bit emotional towards the end watching everything play out was really heart-breaking when you consider how far they had come and the history that they had. But then watching Blake come out so much stronger from the situation after she took some time to step back was really awe-inspiring. Blake goes through so much in this book and she really struggles to see herself through other peoples eyes in a positive manner, she has spent so long being told one thing that it affects so much of her life now. Ari is such a possessive bastard but all comes from a good place and watching him fight so hard to show Blake what she deserves in life and that she is so much more than what people say was empowering. I loved the flow of the book, it really matched they're story and their relationship. The tension is perfect throughout and would break at the perfect moments. I can't wait to explore more of these characters and to also watch Blake and Ari's relationship grow more in the background just like we watched Linc and Monroe's.

Luna Mason and Hunter Sterling have not disappointed🥵. I have loved reading their story so much and they both come so far from when we first meet them. Does their story go fast? Yes. Do they love each other more than anything? Absolutely. The love and care they show for each other is second to none(other than their love for Wyatt) and getting to watch their relationship develop into what it is, was so heart-warming. Little Wyatt absolutely stole my heart and he did not deserve to go through that hell but watching him bounce right back had my heart in pieces with love. They bring so much balance to each others lives, allowing them to truly be their full selves and it just made me so happy to watch everything all fall into place. Lola is such a strong character, who goes through so much straight from the start but she has so much fire in her that she just came back 100x stronger each time. She has so much love for Wyatt and becomes such a strong pillar in his life and filling a gap that has been open for six years. Watching their bond grow was really heart-warming and it feels like Wyatt also filled a gap in Lola’s life, one that she probably didn’t even realise was there. Hunter is a broody cowboy who opens his heart fully to Lola and allows her to stand by his side, even if he does try to fight it on the odd occasion(will not forgive you for that one Mr Sterling). It was so gut wrenching watching them go through that twist, even if I did have my inklings around it, they didn’t deserve to go through that at all. I absolutely devoured this book it had me in it’s clutches right to the very end and I can’t wait to explore the rest of this series and the characters.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and getting to explore these characters. The writing completely absorbs you in from the get go and you just fly through it. The characters are really interesting and I loved getting to explore all their different sides. The dual pov definitely gave it that added layer that allowed us to explore both of them in a much deeper level. I did get a tiny bit emotional towards the ending watch their third act break up play out and it was more because they just didn't deserve to be put in that position. I can't wait to explore the rest of the series and the characters, as I think there are some interesting character developments to explore.
