A beautiful conclusion to a series that stole my heart from the very beginning.
I will admit I was a little hesitant at the start of the book. I honestly wasn't sure how I felt about Sierra. She didn't initially feel like the character we fell in love with throughout the other stories. Luckily, that feeling passed quickly and suddenly it's 1am and I need to be up in 4 hours.
This book gave me all the feels. I hurt with them, I was happy with them and I cried with them. I also think the issues of grief and trauma were handled very well.
My only complaint is a wish the setups for her future books were less obvious. I feel that at times it was taking away from Sierra and Xavier. I will read her books no matter what, she didn't need to sell me on it already.

The Devious Husbands was an incredible book, I read all the other books in this series and enjoyed them all, I was looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint
I have been waiting for this book for a while. Sierra and Xavier have been dancing around each other in all of the prior books and their inevitable collision is finally here. Like any of Catharina Maura’s books there is spice, drama and angst and miscommunication but then healthy communication along with an action scene. It’s like a telenovela! You almost can’t believe what is happening but then there are these stretches of deep character development and emotional growth. Oh look! They are finally communicating using their grown up words and finally going to therapy. This is real life. (Plus some kidnappings, private islands and designer dresses to keep us entertained) I always thought Sierra was a bit childish and spoiled and frankly her oblivious nature made me annoyed with her. She grew on me as she finally grew up and valued herself. This story is the end of the Windsor family saga so it is bittersweet. Fun series to enjoy on Kindle Unlimited and the author is South Asian so you know my support will be unfailing.
I am very excited to see the side characters like Xavier’s brothers and especially Valeria get their own story. Valeria sounds amazing and badass.

It’s a bittersweet feeling finishing a series off.
(especially this one where my previous reviews of the books in this series are completely unhinged because my anger issues could not for the life of me be ok with what goes down in these books) (the drama, the angst and the banter - everything that comes in a Cat Maura book) (and honestly I should probably change my ratings because clearly I wasn’t thinking rating some of the books 2 stars at the time

I loved Xavier's character. Throughout the series, I loved Sierra's character as well. However, I expected a lot more defiance from her during this book. A lot of the conflicts Xavier and Sierra had (like the projects he "stole" from her), were just kind of swept under the rug. Other conflicts are ones we seen referenced in previous books. So while I enjoyed the characters themselves, I really felt like the story was all over the place in this one. The sneak peak we got of Sierra and Xavier in the previous book (Lex's book) was more exciting.
And Grandma. I really hated that woman after Luca's book. I have to admit she grew on me at some point, though and Xavier's lack of support during that situation should have also been a huge conflict between them.
I enjoyed the book, the banter between the two. I just expected more of it. It started out strong (with the tires) but really fizzled out after that.
