A really enjoyable read! Gave me The Hating Game vibes and I'm always here for that 😉 I know that Gemma didn't land well with other reviewers but honestly that's just confirming her whole plotline was about: if Gemma was a male lawyer, you'd be all over her. But if she's a female lawyer who puts her career over everything? Well then she's just unlikeable.

I didn't like the plot development at the end and that really brought my rating down — the whole book was about Gemma being independent and making her own way in the law world but in the end it felt like Ben saved everything for her anyway. I know that's the romance plotline and I loved it for the romance!! it just didn't feel like it fit with the whole narrative. I'm really torn about it.

I loved Keelie as a side character and I'm so excited to read about her in the next book! 🥰

It's Elizabeth O'Roark so I knew it was going to be good.
I was a little disappointed when the dual POV I've come to expect disappeared after the first chapter but those bonus chapters after finishing were a delight. I still thoroughly enjoyed this story and I'm sure when the next Devil book is released I will once again be spending release day devouring it.
