Omg I loved this book. I’m so glad I picked it up, it was sooooo worth it! I went through it really quickly even though it was a slow paced book.

I'd DNF this book if I didn't buy it (audible) for a book club challenge.

3.5

3,5 because I did like this but not as much as Mariana Zapatas other books. I didn’t think Iris was completely annoying but  she did have her moments. I have a feeling that the only Mariana Zapata heroines that I like and relate to are Aurora and Jasmine. 

Dex was hot but also I do hate the whole “you’re mine” thing so that’s another reason for the 3,5. Also I don’t think I liked the whole motorcycle club aspect. 

This book definitely had its moments but it is nothing compared to the way ‘From Lukov with Love’ , ‘All Rhodes Lead to Here’ and ‘Kulti’ made me feel

Definitely not one of my favourite MZ books but still enjoyable. The first time I read it I wasn’t sure if I’d make it past the first few chapters with Dex’s insults to Iris, but pushed through and liked it. 
Unfortunately didn’t get any of the stupid grins or giggly butterflies I have from some of her other books but there were some cute and funny parts.
