Penny is just this ray of sunshine and joy despite things that happened in her past. She cares so deeply for those around her and her creatures. I loved reading about her. And she was the perfect foil to Gabriel’s undoing. They were so fun together right from the beginning. I really liked that we didn’t have to wait long to see them get together. And then of course he had to put up with her friends and their husbands (which the husbands were hilarious, they’d eventually became friends although I don’t think they’d ever say that, they ended up fighting over who would be the second in a duel).
This one might be my favorite out of the series.

“I do not believe every problem can be cured with a kitten. I do believe in love. And perhaps love can’t cure every problem, but it makes the wounds heal a bit faster, with fewer scars. I understand why you don’t believe that. How could you, if you’ve never known it yourself? But perhaps you should give it a try. Let someone care for you, Gabriel. It doesn’t have to be me, but—” She broke off. “No. Forget that last. It does have to be me. I’m generous, but I’m not that generous. When it comes to this, I’m not willing to share.”
My absolute favourite in the series - Penny and Gabriel are so perfect and delectable — I adore them with my whole heart. This was insta-love done right and I loved seeing Gabriel's struggle with his newfound wealth and how that effects who he is.

Gabe’s the historical man font “Softy In Denial” mixed with “Chip On His Shoulder and Won’t Shut Up About It”
Other highlights of the book:
-the men becoming friends against their will. Is that a trope? If it is, it’s my favorite trope.
-the way Gabe has his realization that he’s in love with Penny. Lmao incredible.
-I cannot wait for Nicola’s story
There are some triggers for this one! CSA and purity culture are big ones.
Moderate: Sexual assault, Child abuse, and Religious bigotry
