I think Sloane is going to make it into one of my favorite FMCs. She was so funny from the moment the book started to the very end. I loved how self assured she was, how positive she stayed, and her sass was next level - she literally had me laughing out loud. I loved her and Declan's banter and they had great chemistry. I really enjoyed how their relationship unfolded and developed - it felt so genuine and I loved how well Declan understood Sloane even when she didn't want him to. 
Besides their relationship and romance, I also found myself pretty engaged in the plot. I had no idea where the story was gonna go and was pretty surprised at most of the turns. 
My only real complaint is that epilogue wasn't what I typically expect from a romance book epilogue so I was disappointed but also a little intrigued since it hints at a future book and future conflicts.

I love Sloane. I was laughing out loud at some parts of this. The middle was a little slow again and I wished we got more of Declan’s past. The author suggested switching over to the Beautifully Cruel series before continuing with this one, so that is my plan.

to compare this book to the first in the series, I enjoyed Sloane's character much more than any from Ruthless Creatures, but I enjoyed reading about Nat and Kage's relationship more than Sloane and Declan's.
