ARC REVIEW

The feels were real in this book. I honestly I didn't know how I was going to react to this. I am very late make this review, but I think it was worth it.

Of course with any books, I felt there could have been more. I would have liked to have more Evelyn's POV a bit, how she after being adopted. She explains about it, but it we didn't get to experience it through her. If we had, it would bring help shape her character more. Because we mainly get Ryder's POV, his character is more molded so there are feelings about him than Evelyn. For someone who hasn't read the other two standalones, I got a lot of info from Ryder.

For my spice girlies, the spice was a more fade to black and defnitely more on the tamed side. Granted they did bang in the confession chamber at a catholic church...soooo there's that.

Note: Because I didn't read the previous standalones, I did not read the "Last Epilogue." I plan to go back and read them, and then finally get the HEA they deserve.

I received an ARC from the author, and though my review is honest and true, I wish them the best of luck! Truly, the book was really good and so far the best ARC story I have read in 2025
