The best in the series.  A dark, sexy romance that actually IS dark and sexy.  Following the third horseman Damon Torrance as he begins to tear down Winter Ashby's life and family after the incident so many years ago, a surprising backstory and dive into these characters' minds reveals that what's on the surface is not as it seems.  Recommend to anyone with a dark and spicy read in mind with a surprisingly excellent plot, a larger found family than once realised before, and even further surprise in diversity, as to Winter's  character not being limited to her blind disability.

Another 0 stars, another book of three spoiled brats terrorizing yet another innocent girl , at this point the plot is how dumb can these horseshits be 
I was told this book was supposed to redeem Damon and not gonna lie, his backstory was heartbreaking , but how is he better when he himself grew up to SA women ?? His own sister??? But it's okay his defense he didn't know she's his sister when he decided to grope and force kiss her 🙄 that's the stupid excuse the penelope douglas cult give him each time the SA topic is brought up in this series ( heavely ) and he books in general ,because god forbid we criticize an author
