I am not okšŸ˜­šŸ˜« whyyyy Hastings why have you done this to us! Not only did you write a series of completely irritating characters that donā€™t know their ass from their ear lobe but you also made them ā€œlikeableā€!!! I canā€™t take it!!! There was hope and then the ending!! 

I will so much happens in this installment. We get to see a lot more history between Magnolia and BJ. I just love BJ so much, in my opinion he deserves better than MP because sheā€™s a complete manipulative bitch him, idc! But I guess the heart wants what the heart wantsšŸ™„

Loved seeing more of Bridgette, she just calls the shit out as she sees it, I was like finally someone is telling MP to freaking get over herself! So many feels in this one, I finally caved and bought the series because this is truly a series I can re-read and get lost in again and the quotes are top tieršŸ˜­ 

Again just rip my heart out and stomp all over it! Iā€™m not ready for DH2 just yet.

You had me in the first half I canā€™t lie 

I thought I might actually LIKE BJ Ballentine in this book but alas I still despise that man! Heā€™s the definition of gaslight gatekeep and I wasnā€™t rooting for them for one second which is Impressive in itself for a self proclaimed romance novel!! I missed Christian this book and surprisingly Daisy too but getting more Julian was a perk! 

This book just didnā€™t hit as well as the first two and Iā€™m sad!
Also Iā€™ve watched too much greys anatomy to not see the ending from a mile off (rip bridge)

The trigger warnings for this book are heavy so please look them up as I havenā€™t suffered from a lot of the themes presented but I struggled to read some of them! (TW: Baby Loss, Family member death, allusions to eating disorders)
