I went into this expecting to love it and I was right. I was a little worried about starting with the second-to-last book in the series, but as a standalone, it works very well. There were characters and storylines that obviously were meant to be resolved in other books, but they didn't confuse me or make me feel like I was missing out on anything.

I wasn't super fond of Brandon's push and pull, but given the direction of his storyline, I eventually understood it. Regardless, it was frustrating asf at the time.

These two are. Whoo. They are intense for each other. Jealous, possessive, murderous. It's all very sweet.

Nikolai's rabid golden retriever energy is all I live for and the way he is immediately all in for Bran just makes my heart flutter.

The conversation the day after they go all the way for the first time had me kicking and squealing like you would not believe. I love them.

The spice manages to be unique and *very* spicy every time, despite the fact that the bottom never gets the chance to top, which is something I've come to look forward to in MM books where one or both MCs have only been with women. That's just a personal like, though so I didn't hold it against the author.

All in all an okay story with decent writing, A+ characters and fantastic spice.

I love this audio book, I’ve just finished and could easily start it over again. 
Narration was great, really matched the characters and I found the duet style suited the writing.
A golden retriever mafia son and a prim and proper artist make an opposites attract mm dark romance worth reading/listening to.
Both MMCs suffer from mental health issues which feeds into the premise and adds a darker edge, check tw.

Giggling and squealing ensues frequently. Niko is the sweetest bby. This book was thoroughly entertaining and so so so sweet it shot up to one of my all time favorites.

I absolutely loved this book. Nikolai and Brandon were everything. They are my absolute favorite couple from this series. 

The mental health representation in this book was amazing. I can't tell you how much I cried while reading this. 

My thoughts on Landon have also changed after reading this. I didn't dislike him as much of at all now that I've read this. I loved seeing him and Brandon reconnect and become close again. 

I also really loved the scene where Nikolai and Landon join forces at the end when it truly mattered. I just can't hate Landon now that I've read and understand why he was so distant with his siblings(mainly with Brandon).

I probably have more I can say about this. But I can't put it all into words. But just know that I devoured this book. I did not want to put it down at all. I can't recommend this enough. But absolutely check the triggers before reading.
