A nice conclusion to the series. 

Although, it definitely dragged on in some parts and the ending felt rather rushed. I also couldn't help but favor certain characters over others.

I enjoyed this series, and I'm planning on reading the prequel next. I did have some issues with the boys in this book though...

Rafe being such a jackass felt kinda strange to me. He literally fell in love with Lia for the qualities that he got pissed for... what was he expecting? That she'd suddenly become submissive after realizing she fell for him?! And then Kaden falling in love with Pauline felt super forced. I get wanting to give him a happy ending too, but I needed more than that lead up.

I enjoyed the end of this book and the call back to the first one.
