just finished to read it and i miss them already 😭.
Bridget and Rhys will always have a place in my bookish heart.
i love that they found a way out of the society- and parliament-imposed rules, and that after a long and troubled history (both individual and shared) they finally had their - may i add, much deserved - happy ending. ❤️‍🩹

My dream trope, that for some reason I've read almost nothing about, delivered perfectly. 
It's weird because Alex was more intriguing for me, but I loved Rhys more, in a squishy-heart kind of way. The smut was also hotter in the previous book, but somehow better here. I don't know, I guess it depends on your taste. And for me, the praise kink is it.
The time jumps were actually pretty great. The whole relationship development felt realistic and I just love these guys together.
Even though I'm not used to the reverse power dynamic, I loved reading this couple, with a complete opposite vibe as the previous one.
Can't wait for the next one.

I almost dnfed this one, but I kept going! 2 strikes... first strike for me part 1 was to long, not necassary at all. Strike two was the 'blackmailing thing of them f*.'

Tik tok has spoiled me the heck out of this books so I knew what the storyline was about ... So I know the charachters are in the same bloodline. Still found that weird. Also I don't find this man attractive. In one chapter he depends her to take her clothes of and she is unsure... give me the ick...
