4.25

I throughly enjoyed this book, only took me two days to finish. However, I could rate it higher because some of the plot lines were too unrealistic for me to connect with. 

There are great moments in the book that made me want to rate it 4.75. It’s not without it’s flaws but it’s still a great story.

Less half a star for this spoiler:

surprise pregnancy/pregnancy in epilogue

. Otherwise it was a very good read. Fast-ish pace like I like and quite a bit of smut. It is a kink book, so mind your TWs. One of the more tame books in the series so far, least amount of drama.

4.0

Ronan Daddy! Silver fox! Best qualities in a man! He was everything and calling him Daddy was a huge turn on! The huge age gap (35 years !!!!!) was the sexiest element in the book and I could not love more about being taken care of by an older man (especially a billionaire.) so happy that he got the chance to be a father again. I felt like he was going to have more kids with Daisy according to his inner thoughts showing in his epilogue and kink in pregnant woman (pregnant Daisy I mean). Just sad that we only got to see a little of the people from previous Salacious books. A few sentences on Emerson, Garrett and Mia. I would love to see other guys as well :(
