So so so good. I think this was my favorite of the three. Each book peels back another layer of the Hugo mob family and this one was a great finish to that story. Sloane and Lucien are absolutely perfect. I love that compared to the other two couples the two of them really had to work for it to be together. They had to choose each other and put in more effort than the others and it felt very authentic. I think it’s my favorite of all 3. The second had the most action. But I think this one had the most intrigue.

By far my favorite in the series. I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers so Sloane and Lucian were intriguing from book one.

It's still a cheesy, over the top Knockemout novel but it felt like the plot and characters had more substance and the writing was improved. This book was steamier too.

Lucian, aka Lucifer, aka Suit Daddy had daddy issues-- rightfully so. 

Sloane, the girl next door had the perfect family. Hell even Lucifer thought so. 

Tragically, Simon, Sloane's dad lost his battle to cancer. Sloane grieves the loss as anyone does... In her own way. 

Through his death, Simon led Sloan and Lucian together. 

Steamy sex, and lots of it later we have finally burned all the bad guys. We have couples who are all happily married and we have BABIES!

The best out of the 3. Although I loved the first one a lot. Lucian is just someone you love no matter how crazy it gets.

apparently i'm on a roll with reading books where one of the parents have passed away... so of course there were so many times that i bawled while reading this book. 

this is almost a second chance romance (sort of?) where sloane and lucian are basically childhood sweethearts until the thing that happened that breaks them up... and then they act all cold and hateful towards each other (and it really is an aggressive, i-can't-stand-to-be-in-your-presence-for-more-than-five-seconds-without-insulting-you hate that's also sizzling with UST) for a long time.

the friend group (nash, knox, and lucian vs naomi, lina, and sloane plus stefan and jeremiah) cracks me up with their shenanigans. 

petula is my favorite retired-but-then-was-bored-so-got-another-job-and-takes-none-of-your-nonsense secretary.

glimpses of waylay = also still my favorite!! also, that dinner table scene where she
electrocutes lucian and sloane any time they make even the slightest overture at insulting each other
? absolutely hysterical!!!
