4.5

I think I loved this one just a *tiny* bit more than I loved Hate. I think it's settled that Steele is my favourite of the three guys. Archer hasn't grown on me fully yet but I have a feeling book 3 might work on that based on that cliffhanger ending. The smut was hot, but I think the plot just needed a tiny bit more added to it because it didn't feel like a lot happened. I think my rating is so high because I love a bit of character development and relationship progression and we definitely got that in this book.
