I loved this book and couldn’t put it down! I adored how goofy and overly confident Jace was! He was so much fun to read and definitely provided some balance to the trauma Riley had experienced.

I did feel like the ending was a bit too easy. But, I felt that way about the other two books I read by this author so maybe that’s her style.

Jace is freaking hilarious and this romance was so sweet.

My heart absolutely broke for Riley and all she had put up with, but when Jace comes in the picture? I was laughing and swooning the whole ride. Riley is so sweet but so scared and Jace is completely unhinged with zero boundaries. 

I loved that Chronic Fatigue was highlighted in this with the guilt and shame that comes with it. But Jace’s response and care, it brought me to tears.

Jace is so over the top ridiculous, I can’t really take it seriously as a dark romance. I had a very good time.

“You’re stalking me,” I accused. Jace’s smirk grew impossibly wider. “That depends,” he said, his voice low…intimate. “Would you be into that?”
