So raw and so emotional. I knew this one was going to gut me even before I started reading it. While I enjoyed Aiden and Elsa’s story and the books Rina Kent wrote. 

Nothing will compare to Xander and Kimberly. 
I found a lot of myself in Kimberly and she will always be one of my favorite FMC. 

I am excited to continue with the world!

I really enjoyed this book. 
Rina Kent did a deep-dive into these characters and made me really love them.
The storyline was interesting while being heartbreaking. It was also lighter in the spice department in the sense of frequency.
Would definitely recommend, BUT CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!

Man this book was rough to read, Kim and Xan had such a rough time and it was hard to take sometimes. But I really loved it, it was great to see them both come into their own and heal themselves.

I was glad to see that this book handled some difficult issues well. But bully romances are just not my thing. I won't hold that against this book, but the writing was also not great...it read a bit like a first draft. And the romance was not believable tbh

il primo 70% mi è piaciuto molto. mi sono rivista nella storia di kim. Xan è il mio horseman preferito. 
ma poi tutto quel macello... tu sei sua figlia, ma lui è mio figlio. peggio di beautiful... cringe. 
e poi molte delle conversazioni così cringe,sembrano bimbi dell'asilo; anche quelli che dovrebbero i più freddi e Machiavellici hanno delle convenzioni così banali.
