The ending had me in shambles! I didnt love how the main action in this book was told, not shown. But i really did like Sierra Simone’s afterword. On to the next one!

MMF/MM romance
Idk why so many people were annoyed that there was more MM romance than in the previous one. It made sense. They were trying to get him back so obviously Ash was always reminiscent of the past. 
I didn't care for that B's chapter specially what it was about. I didn't understand the sexualization of what was happening. I didn't like their ending. I wanted everything to come back and bite them in the ass.
I was not expecting that end, specially after making me cry like an idiot. I was telling my friend all about it and even she cried. 

Look for Trigger Warnings/Content ⚠️
