Such a good book!!!! I loved this book and the characters. Jasper is just *chef's kiss*. The way this man loves Sloane is beautiful, he would do anything and everything for her, the love is just palpable. Sloane has so much growth in this book that it just makes the reader love her a little more every chapter. I think that both characters had huge growth. Jasper with his traumatic and tragic past and brooding attitude; Sloane being so easily manipulated and she had no self confidence. And then the growth going to Jasper letting Sloane in and being able to let go of his brooding and grumpy personality because of her. And Sloane stepping into herself and her confidence and independence was beautiful to read. The SPICE! So good. I loved their connection, and their understanding and support for each other. They were just meant to be. Their relationship just had me in love and the more the book when on the better it got.

Memorable Quotes

"No, Sunny. I shouldn’t be scared. You’re the least scary thing in my life. You’re not just tattooed on my skin. You’re branded on my heart. Woven into the fiber of my being. The most constant and reassuring person in my life. When I close my eyes, I see you. When you’re away from me, I dream about you. When I need someone to lean on, you are always there for me. God. You’ve loved me when I haven’t even been able to love myself"
"He's constantly trying to blend into the background, but even when he's hiding, I see him."
“It’s like she and I are tethered together, but she’s the strong one. The pillar. And when troubled waters wash me downstream, all I have to do is follow the rope that ties me back to her. It always leads me back to her.”
“But as usual, she doesn’t shy away from my darkness—after all, she’s my Sunny. She chases away the dark just by being herself.”
“I mean, if y’all can overlook tail-babies, I’m not sure what could really keep you apart.”
“I want him to be as connected to me as I am to him.”

Rating: 5/5 stars

Sloane Winthrop has loved Jasper Gervais from the moment she saw him, but he’s never felt the same…until now?

This book is absolutely the perfect friends-to-lovers story. The tension was top-tier, and I loved the simple beauty of a story about finding the person who will always accept you for exactly who you are. POWERLESS made me tear up multiple times, and while some aspects of the third-act conflict were frustrating (again, as per usual) the ending was absolutely pitch-perfect.

Also, the snippets/teasers for RECKLESS???? I am absolutely feral.

If you haven’t read this series yet, literally what are you waiting for? Here’s your sign to get started.

CW: Infidelity; mentions of death of child/grief; injury/danger of loved one; mental health; toxic parental relationship/emotional abuse

Jasper and Sloane’s story from childhood until present day was so precious. They’ve always been there for one another, through all of the ups and downs of life and never once steered away from one another, always stuck in each other’s orbit. But finally, after Sloane’s wedding gone wrong, their worlds collide in the most beautiful way. Finally coming to terms with how they feel and have felt for one another all this time. This book was so precious.
