I loved this book but realistically I should have given it a 4 ⭐️. However, the last 4 sentences were so perfect that I had to give 5⭐️.
West and Phoebe were great together, I loved their chemistry. I usually don’t like children in books but this story was a delight. Also, there were cats!!!!!

Intrigue : ⭐⭐⭐⭐ : Une très bonne intrigue qui ne place pas la romance au premier plan (ou pas que). Les deux personnages ont des projets et veulent les mettre en oeuvre. Je déplore cependant la vitesse du dénouement : quelques chapitres auraient été nécessaires pour approfondir la fin.

Ambiance/univers : ⭐⭐⭐⭐ : J’aime beaucoup l’univers que Lisa Kleypas met en scène dans cette série. Nous sommes au cinquième tome, et tous les personnages et leurs relations sont bien établies, ce qui permet de plus apprécier l’histoire.

Personnages : ⭐⭐⭐⭐ : Je me suis beaucoup attachée à ces personnages, qu’il s’agisse des deux personnages principaux ou de la galerie de personnages secondaire. Un gros plus de ce roman !

Style : ⭐⭐⭐ : Le style de Lisa Kleypas est correct et porte bien l’histoire, sans être exceptionnel.

I waited so long for this book to be released. So yeah, started this yesterday and finished it today.

This book really made me love West so much ! I adore him in "The Cold Hearted Rake" and I'm so so happy he got his own book and let me tell you, he's adorable, a soft male-a cinnamon roll that can literally break any one but still a cinnamon roll, a soft little brother and a loving cousin to his dear Pandora, Cassandra and also to his friend/ sister-in law, Katherine.

The story was a roller-coaster ride for me. Having to know the backstory of both Devon and West in this story made me care for them more where I figure out that West also had his own insecurities which is very shocking, I find him very confident, but in his story, he was indeed vulnerable.

What I adore in this story were not just the lovey-dovey scenes but also the character development of both, specifically Phoebe a loving mother to her 2 sons and an older sister- from hating West for what he's done to his dead husband to caring him.

It was already a very good story but some parts were boring and it seems to be rushed but the most disappointing part were the last few pages , rushed scene of their closure was supposed shouldn't done that way (in my opinion). Either way, I thought I'll get another chapter of what just happened and it turns out the story was done already.

Like what I've said, I was a little bit disappointed by how the ending turned out to be, not that I didn't like it, I just wanted it to be a little bbit longer than it was.
