I loved the storyline of elena’s dad and how elena and vlad were raised together and yet I do wish there was more scenes with glad’s parents.  Glad and his friend group was the best part, especially how they would talk out vlad’s feelings and fears. I also read liked how elena slowly opened up to michelle and the others.

2.0

weirdly heavy in the final part of the book, featuring kidnapping etc. not by the main guy obviously it’s by some evil people but why? feels extremely out of place. romance was fine, characters alright and loved the underground cheese-shop plot line of course. overall a perfectly satisfying read but nothing that will stay on my mind neither in a positive nor negative way.

the main character (woman ofc) gets kidnapped while finishing investigating her dead fathers investigation into a sex trafficking ring. it’s pretty brief but detailed. she’s kept in a car.

Lyssa Kay Adams has done it again!! This series is hands down my favorite romance series and I keep wanting more! I’ve been wanting to read Vlad’s story since we first learned about him and it did not disappoint. Elena and Vlad are so perfect together and I’m glad they had their happy ending. Removed 1/2 star because it was *too* slow of a burn for me, and the ending threw me off?? The plot during the last 30 pages felt rushed and unnecessary. BUT— it’s still amazing and I love the Bromance guys!! Can’t wait for Colton’s story next 😍

This book was pretty lackluster. Though I really liked Vlad, I found Elena to be a little flat. I also found that all of the secondary characters didn't resemble actual people and instead felt like one-dimensional caricatures with repetitive schticks. 

The dialogue between male characters also felt clearly like a woman trying to write idealized, "woke" men. Again, they just didn't talk naturally and so many scenes felt inorganic.  

There were parts that were funny and sweet, but I don't think this book was a winner.
