Sloane, the girl next door had the perfect family. Hell even Lucifer thought so.
Tragically, Simon, Sloane's dad lost his battle to cancer. Sloane grieves the loss as anyone does... In her own way.
Through his death, Simon led Sloan and Lucian together.
Steamy sex, and lots of it later we have finally burned all the bad guys. We have couples who are all happily married and we have BABIES!

this is almost a second chance romance (sort of?) where sloane and lucian are basically childhood sweethearts until the thing that happened that breaks them up... and then they act all cold and hateful towards each other (and it really is an aggressive, i-can't-stand-to-be-in-your-presence-for-more-than-five-seconds-without-insulting-you hate that's also sizzling with UST) for a long time.
the friend group (nash, knox, and lucian vs naomi, lina, and sloane plus stefan and jeremiah) cracks me up with their shenanigans.
petula is my favorite retired-but-then-was-bored-so-got-another-job-and-takes-none-of-your-nonsense secretary.
glimpses of waylay = also still my favorite!! also, that dinner table scene where she

Let’s be honest, I totally rated this book based on the ✨vibes✨ and the fact that I made it right to the end of this series when the books are all 200 pages longer than necessary.
Sloane and Lucien were fun, a little annoying sure but still a whole lot of fun. It was also really really sexy - much sexier than the previous two books in my opinion. I think the thing that always sells me on these books is the feeling of family, both born and chosen and how they come together in one big, happy metaphorical warm hug. There is just so much love in these books and just for that it gets five stars.
I would recommend it if you loved the first two books but wanted even more heat or if you love a small town romance with a lot of heart and a big funny, loving family.
