This book would have been a solid 4 ⭐️ if it weren’t for a couple things. 1) Flashback narration was set apart by a jarring echo effect that was unpleasant and distracting. At first I thought there was something wrong with my device. It took a while to accept that it was actually intentional. 2) I really don’t like a man choking a woman or putting a hand on her throat forcefully during sex, even when it’s fully consensual. That is dangerous and, to me, deeply unsexy. Other than those elements, this was overall a satisfying friends-to-lovers story about two people learning to live authentically and reclaim their own power.

Jasper and Sloane were adorable! Their will they won't they childhood love was super cute! I appreciate their communication about issues but my issues comes from something else. Although the "cousins" thing isn't my issue it is a tad weird. My issue comes from the sudden 180 Sloane has in regards to the wedding. In the beginning she is adamant on marriage and that her dad has her best interest at heart. All it takes is one video of Sterling fucking a stripper? It just feels like she'd go to her dad and not Jasper with all the backstory given on why she was getting married in the first place.

I was a little hesitant going into this one, only because we didn’t know much about Sloane. But this third book was as enjoyable as its predecessors. While not my favourite FMC (it’s going to be hard to beat Willa) I really appreciated the journey Sloane went on in this book, with regards to her self-worth and the relationship with her father.

Jasper reminds me of the saying “it’s always the quiet ones”. I was not expecting just how much he needed & liked control ;)

This is such a consistently good series that gives a fantastic blend of angst, plot & spice with some really funny family antics thrown in.

4.5 stars
