I went crazy this weekend and decided to finish these last 4 books! So alll the reviews are on the way. I didn't realize how much I wanted a Gareth and Livvy situation in my life until I read this. We were teased at the end of book 3 about them being kind of enemies to lovers but then got the image that Gareth had of Livvy in his bed TIED UP! I loved how quickly their romance and more developed. I loved how going into it Gareth had a clue what Livvy meant to him but didn't want to recognize it while at the same time found himself wooing her. I loved how vulnerable he was at times with her thinking she would leave him or that what they had was fragile and then how she would prove him wrong! The spicy scenes were SPICY! And the monster situation that happened was next level WHOA.
Livvy is going to be the bigger person in her situation. She has found herself working with Gareth the man who drives her crazy in the WORST way while also being ridiculously attractive. She will not be goaded by him. She will be professional. Until she finds herself liking their conversations and realizing that there is more to him than meets the eye. She finds herself at her favorite club which happens to be his and wanting MORE. She wants him but not just his body. She wants his mind and his heart and his happiness. She wants to help him through the struggles he has been shouldering alone. All of this is happening while she is being stalked and treated inappropriately by someone else. Someone who is evil incarnate but Gareth is on to him. Will he be able to save her when she needs it? Will he open up to her with his Grim secrets so that he can start making more of a difference with his powers?
Gareth knows what Lavinia is to him. She is his mate, but he is having fun goading her and making her angry and watching her blush. He is having fun wooing her in his own way. He finds himself opening up to her about things he never has before. He finds himself wanting to introduce her to his monster which most Grims don't do. There are too many things that could go wrong. But what if she could help him? What if she could complete him and bring him peace and happiness and not make him feel like the monster he thinks he is? The more time they spend together especially in bed, he realizes he would do anything for her. Including open up those secrets to the high guild in order to protect her from the evil warlock who has been stalking her and much worse.
I can't recommend this series enough. They literally seem to be getting better and better. The only ones I struggled to relate to were Evie and Mateo and then Isadora and Dev. I legit can't WAIT for Jules and Ruben and love the snippets we have been getting of Henry and Clara. Looking forward to Juliette's new series and will probably check out her previous ones as well!
