I wanted to DNF this series. This audiobook was 16 hours long and I didn't think I was going to make it to the end. This is the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th books I've felt this on. Simply put, I didn't enjoy the series. I finished it to say I finished it, giving it a chance. The spice and HEA were a saving grace for me. I'm a sucker for smut and a HEA, but it was a rough road to get there.

I mean… it was fine. Not something I’ll read again, but I’m glad I finished the series. Weird way to wrap it up, though, ngl.

The ending had me in shambles! I didnt love how the main action in this book was told, not shown. But i really did like Sierra Simone’s afterword. On to the next one!

MMF/MM romance
Idk why so many people were annoyed that there was more MM romance than in the previous one. It made sense. They were trying to get him back so obviously Ash was always reminiscent of the past. 
I didn't care for that B's chapter specially what it was about. I didn't understand the sexualization of what was happening. I didn't like their ending. I wanted everything to come back and bite them in the ass.
I was not expecting that end, specially after making me cry like an idiot. I was telling my friend all about it and even she cried. 

Look for Trigger Warnings/Content ⚠️
