I enjoyed this book. Fifth one in this series. I had hoped for more humour and wit from West. He often had excellent lines of sarcasm in books 1-4. But this one shows his emotions and fears well. 

Aside from a nail, the book doesn’t have a melodramatic injury and bedside recovery. Thank goodness it doesn’t. That wasn’t something I liked in books 1-4 

The intrigue from Edward could have been used more. I regret we didn’t see more dialogue between Sebastien and Phoebe but it was nice to see scenes of Sebastian and Evie and cameos from the couples/families from the wallflower series.

I loved West. He and Phoebe were cute together. That said, the plot outside of the romance wasn’t as developed as other books in this series.

This was an enjoyable re-read. The characters were fine and their relationships were alright. The plot was decent. For some reason, I find this book a little boring compared to the others.

I was so excited for this book. West had always been my favorite character in the series and this was a really satisfying romance.
