Really enjoying this series. I'm not a fan of the whole "I love him but I don't know if he feels the same way despite glaringly obvious evidence to the contrary" trope, so I would have preferred a little less of that, but I don't think it derailed the book and they did eventually communicate about it...

I love this series so much, I love Dayton and Park so much, I love the mystery aspect so much. Dayton returns to his stifling hometown for his brother’s engagement party and brings his BSI partner and… more?, Park with him. When a body is uncovered in Dayton’s dad’s backyard, the weekend off transforms into a homicide investigation and a journey into Cooper’s past, while he has to deal with his very present relationship with Park…

I just love this series ugh. I loved meeting Cooper’s family and seeing them reconnect and get over years of miscommunication and closed off emotions. Dean and Sophie were adorable, and the heart to heart Cooper had with his dad made me so emo fr.

La relación de estos dos cada vez me gusta más, pero diosmio tanto misterio con Park la concha de la lora, y eso que ya se revelaron algunas cositas aún falta tanto, su familia me intriga mucho.

Ahora bien la familia de Cooper aaaahhh!!! No fue para nada lo que me esperaba, amé a Dean y su papá como cualquier papá tenía sus cositas pero no se podía negar que ama mucho a sus hijos

4.5 Lovely Stars!

Whelp.

This sequel did not fail me.

Admittedly, it drove me quite bonkers but really really incorporated so many things I love in a romance where I have a soft spot for not only law enforcement MC’s but also the exact situation where there is so much doubt and insecurity and the small baby steps of wins is just so gratifying because you're waiting on the edge of your seat for some grand gesture but all you get is a small look or twitch or that rarely heard endearment and your heart clenches with joy with each instance.

That’s what happened here. Sparse in the romantic overtures but still meaty enough to fuel that want and longing.

Despite my rambling this is still a mystery at its core, and while Cooper and Park are contemplating or avoiding or ignoring their budding feelings for the other, they have to deal with Cooper’s dad being accused of murder.

Beware unreasonable familial expectations and being in the closet with said family. Beware miscommunication or no communication between these two knuckleheads but when they do make their proclamations, I swooned like an idiot. Cooper continues to be his usual snarky self, putting his foot in it over and over. And Park?? Seriously?? This sexy alpha werewolf is all I want for Christmas! Pretty please?! Unf.

A compelling page turner and I finished this in a day. That’s the real indication of an absolute obvious win!
