⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Winter’s Eve Then, Now, and Always. 

Eve Valentine and Winter King were supposed to be married but after the death of Winter’s father his life fell apart and Winter left. Eve has been holding onto anger regarding Winter leaving her for 10 years. When Eve finds out her best friend is marrying her ex-fiancés little brother, she doesn’t take it well.

I loved Winter!! His growth and self discovery was so real. He went to therapy to work through his issues while mentoring Reign Deleon through the same grief he experienced. 

Eve pissed me off the whole book (😭) which is a testament to Valdez’s writing. Also, this is very personal to me but i don’t like second chance loves because i need the FMC and the MMC to fall in love in 3 days max LOL. The back and forth in second chance romance just gets on my nerves. 

The King brothers (including Reign) carried this book for me. I loved their relationship. They were able to have a fun, light relationship but also held each other accountable, showed up for one another and it just gave me all the warm feelings and laughs. 

Who does Aspen end up with?!?!? I know North’s book is next and i thought it was gonna be North and Aspen but here Jude came and had me confused if maybe Aspen end up with North or not. I need answers lol.
