This was my favorite book in the series. The characters were easy to connect with and I loved the more extensive glimpse into their lives and past vs it being mostly romance.

I first read Ana Huang's Kings of Sin series first where Christian is a reocurring character, so I'm glad I finally reached his story.  Stella Alfonso is an Instagram influencer, model, and aspiring fashion designer. When she needs to up her follower count to secure a luxury brand partnership, she decides she needs a fake boyfriend. Enter her neighbor/landlord and cybersecurity expert Christan Harper. He agrees to be her fake boyfriend in exchange for her coming to events with him. But his company has a mole selling information to his competitors just as Stella has a stalker reemerge after years away. As they rely on each other for support, their feelings grow less fake and put the entire ploy in jeopardy.

This was my favourite instalment in the series. I care more about Stella and Christian’s stories. 

One small issues I had was in Hawaii when Christian finally touches Stella; there’s only one sentence when he snaps. I feel like there should’ve been more push and pull, considering he had pushed it off so many times before this event.

The “post break up confrontation” in ch41 almost had me in tears. “I’m asking you to leave me alone” hits like Rachel telling Ross “You’re a completely different person to me now.” 💔

The epilogue was super cheesy, but I guess it had to happen, wrapping up everybody’s stories, giving them all their nuclear lives.

Took me forever to finish - but that’s because I didn’t realize Spotify limits you to only 15 hours per month for audiobooks… and this one was 16 hours. Hahah so I had to wait a few weeks to finish the last hour. Anywho; this is unfortunately my least favorite of the series.  Which is disappointing because Stella is the one I felt I related the most with in terms of introverted-ness.  I feel like the series didn’t really give us a glimpse of who she is until her book, and it was really hard to root for her.  Her and Christian had the least amount of chemistry imo and
tbh idk how one could forgive (at least that easily) someone who  stalked her too.  Like girl, run away as far as you can… and if anyone reading this, if you find that your partner stalked you in the past please tell someone and please leave.
.  Also with Stella allegedly being such a nice person, there’s no way she’d be with someone like Christian who has done and actively still does atrocious things… I don’t see how someone, especially her being described as sweet and kind, could love forever with such a partner.  The ending of the series was cheesy but still cute!  Made me really wish and ache for a solid friend group that sticks around for a lifetime.  Very happy to some people get that including these characters.  Overall, I’m glad I listened to the series.  I believe it’s going to be a show soon? Would be interested to see how they keep or alter the spicy scene a because they truly are  🌶️🌶️🌶️.  My overall ranking of the series are as follows (I can’t remember the titles):
- Bridgette (loved the plot the best and the library scene 👌🏽)
- Jules (plot was whatever but they had a really good spicy scene)
- Stella (I just felt like they lacked chemistry but the plot was decent)
- Ava (honestly I just find her and Alex annoying and unrealistic so sorry!)

Such a good close to the series. I loved getting a chance to see the other couples all interacting with each other. And with the epilogue getting to see their children interact was so freaking adorable. Stella and Christian are definitely my favorite couple out of this series.

It felt like there was almost no plot line. The usual third-act breakup was really unnecessary.
