Y'ALL-- this one was a wild ride!! i wanted to fall in love with dom in the same quick way i did with nero and king, but it took me a minute. like i LOVED HIM in the beginning, but after the betrayal of las vegas and then he like exposed all that he had done, i was PISSED off. like i was visibily so angry and had to put the book down because I FELT betrayed too. like he didn't just do that shit to val, he did it to me as well i will say i started to come around to him after some of the sweet stuff he did, but he still threw in a little *punch* there towards the end the changing out her BC was like a gut punch to me bc i would be LIVID bc i do NOT want kids, but i'm glad it all worked out and val was okay with it
that scene towards the end?!?!?! had my heart RACING, but man val is a f*cking badass, let me tell you. overall, i enjoyed it, had a great time, but dom really hit me where it hurts a few too many times, so king's still my favorite. i did LOVE seeing payton&nero and savannah&king in this one!!! i think i fell even more in love with both couples throughout this book.
ALSO THE FINAL SCENE!?!?!!? holy. shit. like i saw it coming but i didn't expect it at the same time iykyk.

I genuinely want to like this series but I seem to go through the same pattern of "oh this is great!" in the first 30% and then the rest of the book falls down for me.
My biggest problem is how interchangeable all of SJ Tilly's FMCs are. They're all insecure with no spine and bemoan that there fat constantly. It's the same character over and over with a different name. I just want one fat FMC from her that is confident and doesn't hate herself.
Dom was kinda unlikeable in a "oh he for sure cheats on her after the book ends way". He's going out of his way to make his insecure wife iealous and didn't really seem to care that much about her other than sex. Idk this one didn't work for me at all. I ate the birth control manipulation up. Everything else was... certainly words on a page.
