God, JEM is glorious. I am emotionally broken and Jude and JEM are both to blame. And it hurts so good.

I am not okay. Since Jodi expects us to justโ€ฆwait.

This is why she is my all time favorite. JEM was right, Jude is definitely irresistible. Slow and savory is his seduction strategy and boy has he perfected it.

Thank you to JEM and @valentine_pr_ for the e-ARC.
