The big reveal!!!
Awe Hudson- I thought this would be a bit of a throw away to be honest (I’m so sorry for how that sounds)
But man do I love Charlie!!! And Hud too- let’s face it.
Deleted Scenes:
PLEASE tell me that Nico catches on to “the big reveal”... he has to. And what does that turn into?

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 Stars
I’ve been enjoying this Wilde series but not loving it. Although this one was the best so far. Hudson was adorable. I think I’ve realized that Lucy Lennox is a little too sweet for me, a little too insta love. I tend to want more snark and a little angst. A little more tension. And that’s ok. We all have our things.

Unfortunately while I liked this overall, I didn't love it and it's been my least favorite in the series so far.
In the past books Lennox has been able to make the trope-y things work and make sense for the most part, even if it was a little silly. But I don't know if she quite managed to make it work with this one.
I felt them not talking about shit annoying to no end. I wonder if it's just been building as the books have gone on - because the books have just LOVED that trope - or if it really was Charlie and Hudson.
I think it was partly both. Which is why I can't be too angry, but also angry enough to not give this 5 stars.
Mostly for things like, Charlie and Hudson are getting hot and heavy when Hudson stops them, and Charlie ASSUMES it's because Hudson is so sure he's straight and so he runs off without giving him a chance to explain, Hudson runs after him but Charlie fucking locks his door and puts earbuds in - like are you kidding me? How fucking immature - and Hudson gives up, but then Hudson, who was so determined to get Charlie to talk to him...all the sudden tried to avoid him??? Why?
It was completely ridiculous as it was page turning. It pissed me off at the same time I wanted more, so that's why I couldn't give this book less stars either. But seriously? And then shit with Darci happens and Charlie assumes the worst - although not his fault this time because Hudson doesn't SAY anything to correct the assumptions when he could.
Okay, sure, Darci doesn't want anyone to know what happened to her...Hudson could have just said "No Charlie, it's not like that. I'm helping her out because something happened to her she doesn't want to talk about." Like...why the extra drama for no reason?
It took them until about the fucking 60% mark to get their shit together and DO something about their attraction. And even at the end there's some mini-drama for all of 5 seconds...for what? To make us worry? It was ridiculous.
All that trope-y ness just did not work out this book and I had to take a star off.
Saying all that, though, I did enjoy these two together - not as much as the other couples, but still enough, and they had great chemistry and had me needing a fan several times throughout this book.
I do think that while we got some family stuff, there was still less than in past books and I found myself wanting more. I've found myself endeared to this big, wonderful family and it's cast of characters. We did get more West and Nico than we have in the last two books, which was nice. I do wish we had gotten the scenes of all these couples getting married though. They all just...get married before the epilogue or after and I want those weddings, mmkay!
I do feel that Charlie's coming to love Hobie was natural and it very much fit for him to move there instead of staying in Ireland. Hobie became his home because of Hudson and his family and the people in the little town.
I was also happy that Darci was never villainized for the sake of drama though. She was a sweetie from start to finish and once she knew about Charlie and Hudson, she was supportive and sweet and she and Charlie even became friends. I would love to have seen them become even like best friends, I just enjoyed the small friends moments we got with them.
I was happy with where Hudson and Charlie ended up in the book and while this wasn't my favorite, with frustrations with all the tropey-ness that didn't work out, I still enjoyed it over all and will definitely continue with this series.

a cute and syrupy romance fairytale, just what i wanted in between real books.

Haven't finished this one yet... Not sure if I will.
Somehow it's just not something I crave right now.
Guess the pacing is a bit too slow.
Can't say anything against the characters really. Sure, one MC is finding himself, struggling with his sexuality, with defining himself and I wasn't overly fond of that as he hurt the other MC in the process...
The plot was often pretty awkward because of the characters mostly. Couldn't connect to that, I guess.
Hach I don't know why I don't want to keep reading this right now...
