Other than a different job setting, this felt a little like the first book in the series. Same outrageous, over-the-top possessive MMC. I will say there is a slightly different dynamic for Cora/Huck since she is a lot more lively and stubborn than Bonnie. Both books had them being together super quickly and the MMC obsessed first. Bonnie definitely fought it a lot more than Cora.
It was pretty insta-love since the book picks up right after the night out at the bar covered in Bonnie’s book. I’d say there was enough of that night that it would make sense to read the first book before starting this one even if they could be read as a complete standalone. There are a good amount of Beau/Bonnie cameos, too.
There is birth control tampering in this one which some people have as a big content warning. Definitely check the content warnings if that is your thing. I will say that I appreciate the author’s note at the start to really drill in that the book leans heavily on the possessive man stereotype and that really sets the tone for the book. She is not playing around with that warning. It definitely won’t be for everyone, but I still had a good time reading. The relationship seems incredibly toxic, but the author tells you about that before you start.
The ending felt a little rushed for the severity of the conflict. I wish he did even a little groveling or at least felt a little sorry. I think that would have made me rate higher.
