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.

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!

Definitely enjoyed this end to the series, but it felt so long. 
Lucien and Sloane’s history was wild and heart wrenching. I will say the absolute hatred that they developed for each other doesn’t fully make sense in my mind but I guess it makes for a more interesting story so whatever. Their banter was cute but a solid chunk of it could have been cut out. The middle started to get muddy and lose me because it felt like it was dragging. Probably would have been a solid 4 if not for that. Oh well I still enjoyed myself and will miss these characters.
