This was a fantastic second-chance romance. We had to wait quite a while for the payoff of Willa and Don’s romance, but it was worth the wait. What an ending to this series!
I’m sure many reviews will focus on the steaminess of this book, which is fair. It’s a very steamy read, especially the last third of the book. However, this book is also deeply emotional. My eyes teared up repeatedly while reading; Willa and Dom have been through a lot, separately and together, and their story is moving. If you’re looking for all the feels and sexytimes, this is the book for you.

In my opinion the narrará toe is what brought this book to life. I would not have liked it half as much without Mary Jane Wells bringing the interest to each character. Dominic was the most interesting character and it felt as if Willa only existed to show Dominic’s characteristics

Decent. I enjoyed the comedic aspects. The pet name threw me off though, and the hints of modern language.

I have been waiting for Dom and Willa's story and it does not disappoint, The third book in Eva Leigh's Last Chance Scoundrels series, this is the story of Dom and Willa's second-chance romance, following Dom jilting Willa at the altar at the start of the series. This book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend starting with the first two books of the series so one can truly feel the pent up longing and anguish. Dom and Willa have been tricked by mutual family and friends into both being present at a house party in the home of a libertine on an isolated Scottish isle. The boat dropping Dom off will not be back for some days, thus the couple is in delicious forced proximity.
Delicious as the forced proximity is, this book is definitely a slow-burn (which becomes an all-out inferno!). Willa has to see past her hurts, Dom has to deal with the consequences of his prior actions, and both have to come to understand what was missing before can be present now only in the wake of the destruction of their prior engagement. Both Willa and Dom had ulterior motives for being together in the past. Stripped of those motivations and illusions makes their relationship deeper and with the ability to last.
4.5 stars. I did wonder how Willa managed to be able to attend the house party at the center of the story, even with her family present (and would they really attend such a notorious event?). The scorching seemed a little advanced for someone of Willa's innocence, plus I would think there would be walking issues based on all the couple shared in a matter of hours. But still so good. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary ARC of this book. The opinions herein are my own.

This book had me biting my fist and kicking my feet!!!! I am actually obsessed with second chance romance, and I can’t fight it any longer. I also love a “I’m not good enough for her” trope when done right and Eva does it right!!! Someone please lock me in a manor on an island in Scotland so I too can have this
