The last of this series (although there is a spinoff that sounds a lot like Salacious Players Club tbh). 

The final chapter of trying to escape cult life with the 5 brothers and their wives. It’s fast and exciting and the characters are strong and determined. A couple good twists. 

The epilogue does what all of them do but I’m not mad about it this time. It’s pretty much the point of their lives and just briefly mentioned. 

Umm, how does Eden not have a constant UTI with all the dirt she’s constantly in? 

There’s so much growling. Like a lot. Like sometimes 4 per page a lot.

Malachi (H) and Eden (h) are the next to be married. Kai never really thought he’d be married or find a woman accepting of his need for primal dominance, and definitely didn’t expect Eden, who’s constantly questioning, dancing in the woods, and just driving him over the edge at times. The intimate relationship between the pair is just spectacular as they build their D/s life. But then you have the whole Zion things – the relationships among the Temple brothers and their wives; the horrendous activities of the Elders; the trafficking. The Temple Brothers has just been an amazing series and such an emotional read at times. This is a series that really is best served by being read in chronological order to get the most out of the overarching Zion storyline – you absolutely won’t want to miss anything.

Not going to lie, I didn't care for the spicy scenes in this book. Definitely not my kink in the slightest, and honestly, I didn't care about the two main characters. I pretty much skipped their spicy scenes because they weren't compelling. I do like fact that finally got a resolution to the zion debacle, and everyone is happy. This book, besides the resolution, added nothing to the series. It was also long for no reason. Like book 3, way too much spice without much dialogue with eden and Kai.

I recieved this book as an ARC for a voluntary review.

I knew this would be the most exciting book in the series due to how the last book left off. Malachi is one of the most hardhead brothers in the whole series and is understandably not happy that he has to marry an 18-year-old Edan. In this book, we finally get to see them leaving the cult that they were raised in, though that is not without the difficulty and struggles that each couple has to go through.

I was able to read each book and the ending to me felt satisfying and I liked how everything came together in the end. This book was extremely well written and the story flows throughout each book connecting them, through the main overall story plot.
