Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing I enjoyed about this book. 79 chapters, 317 pages in which a lot happens, too much, and too badly and shallowly written. It felt incredibly chopped and disconnected. The cringe factor is immense. From the FMC's grandmother making her sleep in the same bed as the MMC as a rule, to her mother in law telling her -after only meeting her a couple of times- to call her mom, to the way all the dialogue is just a bunch of repetitive and incredibly cringe-worthy discussions. I really disliked this.
First, thank you Catharina Maura for the arc, I enjoyed it very much. Second, Xavier Kingston, you put the Windsor brothers to shame. This man is the definition of obsessed. He lets her get away with things; plus, he spoils her, ugh why can't he be real!!! Xavier battles with his struggles which he feels he is not good enough for Sierra. When Sierra asks him to meet her halfway, he finds the perfect way to express his feelings and vulnerability. Sierra, I cried for her, because all she wanted was to be his rock, and how hard she tried to understand him. The way Xavier grovels was like icing on the cookie lol. I have loved their tension and chemistry since book one. The spicy was just hot (the conference room scene, IYKYK). I liked how the Kingstons welcomed Sierra with open arms. The scene with her father-in-law in the car is one of my favorites. I enjoy the shenanigans the Windsor Brothers did with their bets. This was the perfect story to end a wonderful series. I will miss all of them.

The first half bored the fuck out of me and I even stopped reading this for over a month, then I needed a "no-thinking" book so here I am, and the only reason I've risen the rating is because I'm in an emotional state and everything and everyone makes me cry and feel even this book, so yeah, but it was kinda good ngl.

I have so much expectation for this book since Sierra is the youngest and the only girl among the Windsor siblings, and it's so sad that towards the end, like in any other book in this series, it is still disappointing because the plot is really dwindling when you are halfway through the book.
As for the characters, I really love how fierce Sierra is, and Xavier's character was disappointing.
When I started this book, I had so much hope that it would be full of passion and chemistry, but Xavier's character, if I were to sum it up, is just not very strong; his strength was just a facade, and he is not emotionally intelligent.
I am not discrediting him for the gesture he made, but in terms of emotions, he really can't control himself, and I don't think he deserves Sierra.
With all that happened with the book, I really love the plot itself and how the story progresses. The only thing I don't really like about this book is the characters in it. Well, I think it was just Xavier who I really don't like.
This book is bittersweet for me because Grandma Anne died and the story just becomes full circle for everyone. One of the things I like in this book was how other couples helped Xavier.
It also annoys me that towards the end it feels like Sierra and Xavier were robbed of their happy ending in the epilogue because I think it focused too much on Valeria and Enzo's story.
I knew that they'd be having their own story based on the last few chapters of this book, but to give it so much time from the last chapter is just annoying for me because I just want that last chapter for the two leads, and to have them from the moment the epilogue started was just a bit of a disappointment.
Overall I really enjoyed this series. I love Sierra and Zane among the siblings, and as for their counterparts, I love Celeste and Raya.

I have been wanting Sierra and Xavier’s book since we hear about their pranks. The way Xavier was head over heels for her from the very beginning was so sweet. I am such a sucker for He Falls First and Hard trope. Loved this book!

Oh my gosh, I never cried more and I never wanted to restart a series more. This was just awful and heartbreaking and wonderful all in one.
