I was so excited for Sloane and Lucian's story, with so much tension and back story between then shown in the previous two books, I was so interested to know their past and where their book would go. 
I whole-heartedly believe their story, their romance and their past trauma and trust issues. They both hurt each other and they emotionally have their journey together throughout the book - it's not rushed, it's not forced, it's very layered and detailed and it all makes sense to me. 
Their love story? It went neighbours-childhood friends-bestfriends-enemies-archenemies-nemesis-enemies-neighbours-friends-lovers and it was delicious! 
The only thing that was a let down for me was the main plot thread of Anthony Hugo. I thought it would be more threatening, more tension, more compelling,
but you meet him and then two chapters later it's all wrapped.
I would have enjoyed seeing that thread through for another 100 pages or so, so it felt fleshed out and a solid send off, but that might be just my opinion. 
Overall, really enjoyed this whole series. It's very rereadable and I'll find physical copies down the line. I love the Knockemout trilogy. Well done, Lucy Score.
