5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!! More if I could!!!!
I have been crying- sobbing - for so long. It’s like, every time you gather yourself up after crying, this book punches you in the stomach. My heart is torn. My heart is taken out and thrown into a blender. 

I once saw a review that was just “My therapist will be hearing about this book.” and I didn’t understand it until now but man oh man… so true.

If you’re looking for more smut, I don’t think this is for you. This was a lot more emotional and character driven than spicy plot. But if you are emotionally attached to Dom or Sean, read with caution. I am genuinely terrified to read the next book.

The second part of this series has left me beyond distraught. I'm beginning to think I'm as much of a masochist as the main characters.

The amount of back and forth pull Kate Stewart is able to believably place between these relationships kept me reeling, frantically turning pages. 

At no point did I anticipate what would happen next. I have never enjoyed suspense nor the roller coaster of emotions I experienced before this journey. 

I have laughed, glared, and cried. I have been frustrated, thankful, and heartbroken.

Now onto the third!

PAIN. JUST STRAIGHT PAIN! i think i cried 90% of this book but i loved every single second of it. Tobias King is one of the hottest men ever, and Cecelia became the bad bitch that i knew she could be. all the questions i had from flock were answered & my heart has been ripped out of my chest. i don’t think i’ll ever be able to look at rain the same again.

Let me just say that this series (so far) has wrecked me. While I feel so sad for Dom, I freaking love Sean and I just wish we had more Sean content 😭😭 the first time I’ve ever loved the blonde sunshine boy but goddamn do I love him. This would be a 5 star if I didn’t hate Tobias so much, I fell in love with Sean and Dom so quickly and easily, Tobias just felt very forced and I wish we would’ve gotten more from the boys. 
But overall, I really did enjoy this book. The ending was definitely rushed and seemed kind of thrown together,
I was definitely okay with them not being together. I loved that Cecelia finally gave herself permission to move on, and honestly I’m kinda bummed it didn’t stay that way. Probably would’ve gotten more stars if it did.

I'm still not sure I like this series, it was pretty emotional and made me stressed. I did prefer this book to the first, still didn't really like Sean, he's protections. 

It seems like most of the problems could have been solved with *communication*
