I really liked this one! There was a lot going on but I felt like everything came together well - honestly it could have been a bit longer IMO. Very much liked Ryan and Fabian together. Their relationship was very sweet and fun to read about. Just in terms of personal preference for tropes, I do like that they had history which helped me with the timeline of their relationship being pretty quick to jump from reconnecting to dating. And while this wasn’t really a slow burn, it still felt very slow compared Scott and Kip’s speed-run from meet cute to insta-love (both tropes of which I am unfortunately not a huge fan). Overall, I really enjoyed this one and am having a fun time with this series.
Also love the Shane and Ilya scene in the epilogue ☺️
