Oh, this was a wild ride. This book is emotional, intense, and a bit twisty. I found Shep's character quite fascinating since he is a high functioning sociopath in a romance novel. It's interesting how the author approached that aspect of the story. The dynamic between Shep and Elijah is definitely unique. Elijah isn't scared away by Shep's diagnosis reveal but embraces it as something else to love about Shep. They just work well together. I mean, not everyone would be super thrilled by the present Shep gives Elijah at the end, but Elijah is over the moon about it. I really enjoyed this one. I think this is my favorite I the series so far. If a quirky but slightly dark and twisty romance is your thing, then definitely check this one out.

Really good book!!
I liked this book even more than book 1! I looooved Shep. A high functioning sociopath?! His character was awesome! My heart went out to Elijah. Poor guy. Great series so far!

Book safety, tropes and tags down below.
I really, really enjoy Onley’s writing. To me, her books are the perfect mix of instalove/lust, action, past trauma, surprisingly low angst and unhingedness (the one’s I’ve read, anyway). Just very entertaining.
Shepherd was my favorite character. He was unintentionally funny and really sweet in a totally not-at-all-healthy way. He’s a high-functioning sociopath (hello, Sherlock), and Elijah became one of his obsessions. Thankfully, Elijah was fully on board with that, lol. Oh, and he’s a 6’6 bearded redhead with shoulder length hair and freckles everywhere
