Enjoyed the criminology and the complications of an FBI agent & secret vigilante-will-he-find-out relationship.

Didn't enjoy the vengeful, angry, tantrum sex at the end.

I’m making this review waaaay to long after I finished this series BUT the main reason why I recommend this is the fact that when you’re reading it you feel like you’re reading one book and not 5, and even now I genuinely cannot tell you when one book ended and when another started and I swear that I remember the whole story (not word for word obviously). The only thing that i didn’t completely like was the ending *******SPOILER****** I feel like the guy was forgiven waaayyy too quickly, like there wasn’t almost any groveling from him and that frustrated me *********END OF SPOILER******** but aside from that everything else was great. I’m gonna copy and put this review in every book from this series :)

I'm devastated
I can't for the life of me formulate a coherent thought, I'm sorry
There's no way this ends in a positive note so I'm gonna need 3 books of HEA's for each one on this series when I'm done to recover half of my little mental health
