The conclusion to the All for the Game series, ties up the whole story and characters with a nice bow. Neil gets his well-deserved freedom (of sorts), as happy an ending as any Fox could ask for.

The conclusion to the All for the Game series sees Neil and Andrew taking their relationship to a physical level. The truth about Neil’s background comes out—as the son of the “Butcher of Baltimore” along with his connections to the Moriyamas. Neil is kidnapped by his father, and is tortured/heavily injured—he is rescued, however, and his father is killed. This allows for Ichirou (of the head Moriyama branch) to take over Neil’s contract and give him a shot at freedom.

This book and the two in the series before it were absolutely impossible to put down. Read all three over the course of three days, even with other things to do, and I would do it again.

“you are a fox,” andrew said, like it was that simple, and maybe it was.

queria conseguir mostrar a quantidade de adesivos que coloquei pra cada cena que me deixa emocionada. é absurdo como depois de anos eu ainda sinto que to sempre lendo pela primeira vez, sem conseguir evitar de chorar e de ficar arrepiada com o que acontece. conhecer meus foxes com certeza uma das melhores coisas que me aconteceu, e literalmente me salvou. fico feliz de poder ver e acompanhar a história deles e de como se encontraram e formaram uma família assim. te amo foxes te amo

ps: primeira vez lendo depois de saber sobre sunshine court e não to me aguentando de ansiedade. simplesmente amar jeremy knox e jean moreau
