This one took a little bit to get into but once I did, I really enjoyed the love story peppered with violence and crime and mystery. I adore all of the female characters in this book and their slightly less than moral men. This book kept me up far later than I should’ve been because it was addictive and interesting. The spice takes awhile to show up and is only moderate but I still enjoyed it.

This was my least favorite in the series, but it's still
a really good book! I personally found Christian a
bit annoying, and his obsession with Stella seemed
creepy and unwarranted for the first half of the book,
genuinely thought he was her stalker for a good
while before he finally revealed how he met her in the
past. I loved Stella, though! I loved the scenes with
her family and the conversations and growth they
experienced as a family. I loved the scenes with their
friends and how the men bicker and give each other
hell for falling in love, lol. Getting another wedding
from the friend group was so sweet, too! The spicy
scenes in this one weren't my favorite but still were
fun and well written!
Ana is a genius, and the way she set up the Kings
of Sin series by introducing the elite library/club
that Alex and Christian are in, and introducing Dante
briefly, was so smart. My interest is PIQUED!
The epilogue in this book was so sweet and I
am going to miss these characters. I am already
ordering the Kings of Sins series to devour in the
near future. Ana Haung just made my auto-buy
author's list!

I think this book was by far the best in the series it had a stronger more intriguing plot. There was more depth and detail to it.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Christian was HOT and Stella really grew throughout the book. Their relationship was easy to follow and fall in love with. One of the reveals was a little predictable and there were a few times where I felt the book lulled a bit but overall really enjoyable and I’d read again.
