I feel sorry for the people who gave up during the second book because this one was 🤌🏼 chef’s kiss! God I am so glad we got the slow burn and mystery of Sloane and Lucian in the previous 2 books because I was already foaming at the mouth for their story before I even started it.
The story picks up after sloane’s dad passes from cancer, and her mom asks if she and Lucian can finally put their feud aside and get to a civil place. You get a lot of witty banter and immature fights since they bring out the teenager in each other. Eventually they try to call a truce, and when that doesn’t pan out, Lucian suggests a one night stand to get each other out of their systems. The only problem is they can’t stay away from each other. When sloane starts receiving threats, Lucian is convinced Anthony Hugo is after her because they’re involved and everything he ever loved got taken away from him. There is a short and minor
When more threats are made on sloane’s life, Lucian realizes he can’t live without her and just decides they’re in a relationship now lmao. I’m not going to lie the 180 from trying to get over her for her own safety to never letting her out of his sight again and finally making his obsession known was both funny and welcome. Normally the roles are reversed. Lucian is by far my favorite MMC of the series. He is constantly saying “tell me what you need” and “I’ll fix it”. He literally built his empire so she would think highly of him. He would commit murder or buy her a castle if she asked. He’s known her so long he can often read her thoughts just from her facial expression. He’s definitely one of the book boyfriends that stays with you. And the spice in this book is the best out of the three. I’ll just say that Lucian is definitely talks you through it.
Sloane is probably my favorite FMC of the series also. She has the funniest one-liners and knows exactly what she wants out of life and isn’t afraid to work hard to make it happen. I wish I could be part of her adult book club for real🥲
This book also gave a plot twist that I did not see coming! I love when stories surprise me. I’m so sad to have to leave knockemout but I’ve decided I probably will come back to this series in the future, maybe even just this book on its own. I will miss all of the characters and their quirks. I don’t give 5 stars lightly but this was just the perfect wrap up to this series.

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!
