As a Beta reader for this novel, and for Kenna, this review is based on my unfiltered and unbiased opinion. There are no spoilers contained within.
I fell in love (and lust) with Everett at Halloween but he became my book boyfriend (and stole my heart forever) this Valentine's Day. Men written by women and non-binary authors are just better– we know that, but Kenna more than proves it with her golden retriever of a Dom. His attention to detail, the level of his care that bolsters the 'he falls hard first' trope he became known for in the first novella, the way he flays himself open to Sienna, are only the tip of the iceberg of reasons why I love this man.
And our heroine represents a great deal of our fears in the face of a love, of a man, so perfect– it's natural and normal to be scared for a myriad of reasons that our girl isn't opposed from feeling either, even if it's a little difficult to work through. Everett is there with a lot to prove– the first being he isn't going anywhere.
It's amazing how much smut and plot and emotion Kenna can perfectly lay out in one well wrapped little morsel. It's like a gourmet piece of chocolate in and of itself with layers of sweet, tangy, and bitter featuring all of the creamy, sticky, wonderfully hard and crunchy textures we crave. Not only is the content perfectly crafted but the quality is only getting better and better with each book our goddess Kenna gifts us with. I couldn't be more honored or more proud of our girl for this installment!
