I enjoyed this book overall, but I did struggle a bit getting into it. I'm not the biggest lover of friends-to-lovers romances to start with, but the angst that came with this was pretty good. I just wish that the romantic side of their relationship could've started a bit earlier in the book. When I read in the blurb that Jasper gets Sloane out of a loveless marriage and helps her escape on her wedding day I thought that there would be a bit more of a build to that but it happens within the first couple of chapters. Like it was a very big part of the book but I just hadn't expected it so early on. At the start I wasn't really sure if I liked Jasper and Sloane and I did think about DNFing this book, but I had really enjoyed the first two books in this series so I persisted and I'm glad I did because this book was really fucking good!beckyremillard's review against another edition

One of my main gripes with this book is no one had to really try or overcome anything major. The main conflict of this book was something that was already worked through by the time the story was half over and then brought up again later as if it was new. Don't get me wrong, I love a happy ending but literally every story line ends happily with little to no effort from any of the characters.
That being said, I enjoyed the characters and their quirks. There was a lot of growth that happened in a short amount of time despite the lack of struggles/conflict.
