This one was my favorite yet in the series. Both marriage of convenience and second chance. The personalities were strong and the sexual tension was strong.

This is my favorite book of the series so far. I loved Zephyr, and the whole seduction plot was so fun to read. Over time I started liking Alpha more, his conflicting feelings about her were always fun to read about. 

Dark Romance, Opposites Attract, Second Chance, 3 3/4 🔥

This has been my favourite of the series so far, this book had me in a choke hold 

At first I was like Oh Zephyr, you are a stage 5 clinger to a man who used you and moved on. But no. Their story has a heartbreaking and tragic start but blooms into something beautiful. 

RuNyx portrayal of Zephyr is beautiful and I have an instant connection with her. A girl who is curvy with mental health issues but expressed as beautiful all the same, just fills me with happiness.

The plot and the characters were all wonderful and I did not see the plot twist comin as with every other book in this series. I thought Alpha was a really mysterious and cool protagonist and Zephyr was hella fun to read from the pov of. However, I found the pacing and plot development to be pretty inconsistent and kind of unrealistic. The fact that she conveniently meets alpha in the arena and he agrees to marry her 2 weeks later seemed kind of off to me. Also the development of their equation over time felt kind of rushed to me.  The pace at which the characters completely changed their opinions and frame of mind over a certain topic was pretty stupid and at times your just like "wait weren't you like 100% against this 2 minutes ago?". But its an entertaining read and doesn't fail to keep you on your toes. As always Tristan and Morana and Dante and Amara were a delight to read about again.
