Finally a book with consent! I really enjoyed this one.
Some bits were a bit cringey and the naming his penis thing freaked me out a bit but I got through the book.
I enjoyed the plot and the characters development.
Definitely my favourite of the series. I don't like the previous books that much but this gave me hope and I will probably read the last book as well as its been building up for a while now and the author said it will be similar to this one so fingers crossed the consent is there.

I went into this expecting to love it and I was right. I was a little worried about starting with the second-to-last book in the series, but as a standalone, it works very well. There were characters and storylines that obviously were meant to be resolved in other books, but they didn't confuse me or make me feel like I was missing out on anything.

I wasn't super fond of Brandon's push and pull, but given the direction of his storyline, I eventually understood it. Regardless, it was frustrating asf at the time.

These two are. Whoo. They are intense for each other. Jealous, possessive, murderous. It's all very sweet.

Nikolai's rabid golden retriever energy is all I live for and the way he is immediately all in for Bran just makes my heart flutter.

The conversation the day after they go all the way for the first time had me kicking and squealing like you would not believe. I love them.

The spice manages to be unique and *very* spicy every time, despite the fact that the bottom never gets the chance to top, which is something I've come to look forward to in MM books where one or both MCs have only been with women. That's just a personal like, though so I didn't hold it against the author.

All in all an okay story with decent writing, A+ characters and fantastic spice.

Wow wow wow, people were not fucking around with how amazing these two were.

I adored Bran and Nikolai and loved that though they were damaged and a little broken, they found so much love within each other. I also loved how unapologetic Nikolai is. And Bran was just so sweet and I'm so glad he got his happy ending I couldn't think of someone who deserves it more.

I also loved the Jeremy and Ceciliy cameos they were prefect as always.
