The obstacles that these Hartley boys and their women have had to overcome is intense because Wren and Holt's book actually made my top emotional read of the year for 2023 with how incredible these suspenseful ass plots and the multiple suspects are! This is only my second book by Catherine Cowels, but I'm hooked forsure!

that being said, best friends to lovers always makes me emo 🥹 and for once, there wasn’t any miscommunication or third act breakup, so that was a win in my book!
I just found nash to be a little too possessive for me, even though I appreciate how open he was with his brothers and vice versa about giving her the space she needed. it just felt that he was not giving her enough space to heal and be herself not around her abusive ex.
I did love the suspense elements way more in this one!! it wasn’t so much a mystery but wondering when the next shoe would drop and cause chaos 🤯 the ending needed a bit more workshop because the back to back almost unaliving the same character was a little overkill in my opinion 🤷🏼♀️
yes, I will continue this series but it’s going to be a one off for me!
