Regarding Rex and Rachel as a duet:

I feel like Rex and Rachel could have been combined into one book. Or, at the very least, condensed quite a bit. I also didn't love how it felt like another set up for a new series in a way that didn't make the end of this series feel settled, epilogue, notwithstanding.

thankfully, rachel and rex were already together by the end of the first book in this duet, so this story was less about then getting back together and more about how they progressed as the ending of this chapter came to be. even though we're getting more books in the crossover series, this was the final one from the og generation west orange motherchapter; that prologue with them all coming together 30 years later soothed me after how storm's book ended. but lodestar was it for me in this book, from how her pov was left off in part one to her departure this time around, the roller-coaster she brought us along in. i won't survive her and conor's story if them in this book in particular was any indication. their love story has been the only constant since the start of this universe; in a way, star has had an hand in every single couple's story.

I’m so obsessed with this series, I’m not sure I can let this be it. But if it has to be, what a perfect way to end.

Holy hotness, what was that!? This this book is the final book in the Dark & Dirty sinners MC series, and the second part of the Rex/Rachel duet. And that cliffhanger in Rex was worth it! This was pure perfection. So many things have been happening in this world, and Serena Akeroyd spins the tale flawlessly. I loved getting chapters from various perspectives so we could see what was transpiring, and what some of our favorite people were thinking and experiencing.

Rex. And. Rachel. Oh. Me. Gee. We have seen bits and pieces of them throughout the series, but then these two books proved we really had not seen anything. So so so much happened in their past, and even in their present, that we (and their friends and family ) had no idea about. Everyone called Rachel the Ice Queen, but no one questioned why. My heart broke for her and Rex. So much senseless pain for both of them. And yet, for all those years, Rex knew she was his. Almost two decades of waiting, watching, taking the pieces she could manage to share. These two were meant to be together. The brilliance of this author is felt in every shared emotion with these characters. I laughed, I cried, I raged. This duet had it all. Their HEA was hard fought, and they both suffered dearly along the way. But in the end the King had his Queen, and it was beautiful to watch.
