Having really enjoyed other Emily McIntire books I thought this was going to be another enjoyable one.

The timeline jumps quite a bit in the first part of the book which made it difficult to hold my attention. The second part of the book just grated on me. There is so much focus on Chase's flaws and we never touch on Alina's, especially not her ability to project her insecurities on to others or her inability to have a conversation which could ultimately stop her deciding she knows everything without all the facts. Nevermind she gets uppity about people bot twlling her stuff yet the issue is she's so wrapped up in her own world she doesn't actually even really take time to find out what's going on with anyone else.

I found it quite hard getting through the pace of this book, it really dragged for me. I don't find myself in a rush to read the rest of the series but may get to it one day.

WOW OH WOW. I can’t get enough of this amazing author. This is the first book in a character series Sugarlake. If you like angst, heat, passion, heartbreak & epic love you need this in your life. This is a childhood friends to lovers with so much pain & struggle. They’re not perfect but man the relationship at the end of this makes all the feels worth it. The spice is out of this world!! If you love spicy books this is right up your ally. It’s got great writing, a great plot & lots of sexual tension.
