I don’t know about you but I was so excited to get the story of Grace (the good twin) and Ares!! Their relationship started at Everly’s wedding when she decided to do something she would never do. When Ares asks her to come up to his room, Grace can’t say no. The spend the night talking and eating all the stolen goodies from the wedding. When she leaves for her dream job Grace and Ares text, call and FaceTime like crazy. Ares decides to visit Grace for her birthday in London and sees that’s she’s not doing well. My heart was so sad for Grace, she was a people pleaser, making sure to take care of everyone but never taking care of herself. And Ares may be the god of war but he was the god of my heart in the book. Another hit by Bella Matthews!
