I am willing to forgive so much in a romance novel but apparently the thing that does it for me is the main character

I really enjoyed this, the delicate topics I thought were handled quite well and I believed the characters. I wish we’d had a little more with the other characters and their families but I really enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed this one but I did get frustrated with Jordan sometimes just because she wasn't really honest to herself about her feelings for Cam and she didn't use her words enough. But other than that I loved this book and really enjoyed Cam. The spicy scenes were really really great.

5.0

This entire series was amazing but THIS ONE is my absolute favorite. I love an extra spicy bad boy MMC and Cam certainly delivers. I go absolutely feral for a good “who hurt you?” moment, which this book definitely has, but Jordana is no shrinking violet and I adored how she really comes into her own. I will read literally anything by this author, forever.
