Honestly the first 60% of this book was just sex and arguments between the main characters and it felt like the plot didn’t come back until 60% and then it just got sad. Events happened too quickly felt real rushed but I did enjoy it definitely cried lots near the end

This book was dark and emotional so the please check your trigger warnings.  I almost cried and I never cry.  I know people probably read this series for the spice but it is an emotional ride.  The growth of the characters in this book was wonderful.  There were twist and turns that kept me guessing the entire time.  It wrapped up their story in a beautiful way.  4.5 ⭐️!

Had to force myself to finish this book. Once again, everyone is getting raped. Also this was set up to be a nice why choose, not sure why that had to change except to make it sadder.
