Firstly, the cover of this book is stunning! I can see why Finley was tripping over his feet over Kieran, this model is hawt! I spent way too much time staring at the cover. And these two were also so hot too. If you go into this book wanting mystery, you'll probably be disappointed, as Kieran's revenge plot does get resolved, but it becomes less and less the focus until near the end, as he loses the desire to be so spiteful any more. I really liked the insta-attraction but slow burn between these two. There was so much sexual tension between them, and I absolutely loved that we had not one, but two times where Finely just had to kiss Kieran to get out of some kind of situation. The second especially was 👌. I enjoyed that, where Finley has a problem with falling for broken men who leave him damaged, his falling for Kieran is different, because Kieran is such a sweet man who has been hut by everyone around him so much his whole life, especially with his last boyfriend who gaslighted him to the point of him Kieran having to take the fall for him. There is so much angst which goes hand in hand with their pining and sexual tension, and I love it. There is definitely a great found family kind of vibe with all of the ex-crims who work at Cash's farm, and I just enjoyed watching Kieran bloom into the wonderful person he is but has been bashed down by life, and I also enjoyed watching Finley finally fall for someone who can love him back completely and doesn't want to harm him in any way. They're both horny™ all of the time, but they're also so sweet too, and I loved the epilogue, with Kieran being cleared of all his charges, and finally being able to trust someone enough not only to fall in love with them, but to say the words too. Their first 'I love you's felt like some of the most profound in any of the romance books I've read recently, and I really appreciated that. As always, I also loved that they're both vers, but that's just my preference. I'm very excited for the next two books, because I can't wait to see Ivan be the teddy bear he is, and to watch Cash get his story too. I also find it hilarious that both of their love interests are brothers - I can't wait for the sibling energy.
