The banter in this one was pretty good. Sloan was a smart ass but actually showed the wit to back it up; we aren’t just told that she’s sassy, we get to see plenty of it, and it’s quality writing. 

After reading the first two in this series and the synopsis of the next book, I’m expecting every book to include kidnapping and lots of spanking. This one had too much “yes, sir” from Sloan, who in the audiobook just sounded sarcastic anyway. 

TW/CW: brief mentions of 

past rape, child abuse by fat shaming, self harm, suicidal thoughts, and death of parent by cancer.

The banter between Sloane and Declan is so goddamn funny. And of course the spice is everything. I loved the evolution of their story, and how they were each able to heal themselves and each other. Sloane is one of my alllllll time fav FMCs.

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.
