This book was SO unexpected and not at all what I thought it would be. 

Was it a billionaire romance? Yes 
Was it little sister and older brothers best friend trope? Yes
Was it enemies to lovers? Yes
Was it grumpy sunshine? Yes
Was there spice? Yes
Did it discuss trauma? Yes
Did it discuss panic attacks? Yes
Did it involve a family member unaliving? Yes
Did it involve people unaliving others? Yes

And the list goes on… this book was more than just a romance with all of the tropes. This book was SO heavy and I urge you to check your trigger warnings. 

I really am so glad I finally started this series. It was such a pleasant surprise. Is it true it is being made into a Netflix series? I certainly hope so! 🥰

dark tense

That was just honestly wild. I thought I knew where it was going and the romance got set up but the last half of this turned into almost a thriller!

✓ Murder (and revenge)

✓ Touch Her and Die Vibes 

˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗

Another hit with this book.  Not usually my type of read but I found myself loving the characters and invested in the plot.  I was not expecting there to be as much drama in this book as there was but the plot twists of murder and family secrets tied into the spice and romance somehow really well.

Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Angst Level: 💧💧

POV: Duel, First Person

Release Date: 27, September 2022
