Oh, Atticus. Of course you, the reluctant killer, would stumble across a smart-mouthed man with bloodlust practically carved into his soul. And Jericho—oh, sweet, chaotic Jericho—he set his sights on you, threw his heart on the line, and I had no choice but to fall hard for him.
The way he flipped the script, stalked you, wore you, and then OWNED you? I was living for EVERY. SINGLE. SECOND. And just when I thought this couldn’t get better, we find out Jericho isn’t some lone wolf vigilante…NOPE, he’s part of a whole crew of killers. A whole group of them! So YES, Atticus is from a family of trained killers and meets a man from a group of killers!! How is this even real?!
BUT WAIT. It gets better. Jericho gives Atticus the CUTEST nickname that had me melting, and then he made me second-guess everything I thought about the Mulvaney boys. Are they really incapable of feelings? I don’t think so, and honestly? I think Daddy Mulvaney got it wrong with this one. Jericho has the proof and STANDS UP FOR HIS MAN! (That scene!! LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Sure, there’s a plot about a maybe-murdered family member, a dirty cop, and…other stuff? But let’s be real: if it didn’t directly tie into Jericho and Atticus’s slow-burn chaos, it was background noise. I couldn’t even tell you how it wrapped up. I don’t care.
5/5 for the relationship.
2/5 for the side plot (which, let’s face it, I barely remember).
But the cuddles, the popcorn, and all the freckles? Perfection.
