4.5⭐️ This book was so sweet and very spicy🤭 In this book we follow Griffin and Nadia. Nadia is Stefan Dalca’s (from the previous book) little sister and he is his best friend. They met in a dirty bathroom at the bar and make out, but later find out who the other is. Griffin is a quiet broody man who lives in the mountains. Two years after the kiss they meet again, but now their proximity is much closer. 

🩷 And then she is gone. Leaving me with the light scent of sweet roses that I still remember from two years ago. That one I haven’t forgotten to this day. 

🩷 Her grin could light an entire stadium with its brightness. 

🩷 “You are the very best kind of torture, Nadia. My special brand of hell. But I want you so badly I don’t even mind the flames.”

I loved the storyline of how Nadia and Griffin got closer. This book was also much spicier than I expected lol. The tent scene where Griffin says ‘Fuck it’ omg.

At the end they split for awhile to sort themselves out, but the way they reunite and got back together was beautiful🥹

As always Elsie’s book are super enjoyable for me and she is definitely one of my favourite authors. I now have read her entire backlist and I’m looking forward to reading Wild Love!
