* I listened an ALC & read the Paperback. *
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/6.
🌶️🌶️🌶️/5.
The narration was great. Troy as Raphael is delightful. I loved this one but Sinful Vows are still my fave so far.
The twists in this kept twisting. Loved that.
Sophie as always is a highlight for me.
I can’t wait for the next audiobook!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/6.
🌶️🌶️🌶️/5.
First of all i loved the dedication right at the beginning of the book. Funnily enough there's also a lot of sayings/concepts that Nicolette has that i do too. I felt seen. :)
Pinning h is not my cup of tea however i did like how this all played out. I must say i was reaching my limit with the pinning cause at some point the h must have enough of rejection after rejection so i was on the cusp but then finally things started to happen. Again not my kind of trope but this worked for me because of their relation to one another , their 17 age gap and their story. It made sense both of them not giving it all up in the beginning.
I was very much intrigued with all things Raph in Sinful Vows. The circumstances were weird and a bit out there but now that i read this book the circumstances were not weird but crazy. I was riveted by all the secrets coming out and excited to finally know what happened.
I very much loved Ralph. He had a sweet and caring personality while also being capable of going crazy for the people he loved. Raph knew that at the time he met Nicolette it was wrong to even think salacious thoughts so he didn't. He really was a great guy then and continued to be throughout the book.
He was frustrating at times but that was only what it was. I was still very much engaged with this book and i wanted to know all the things and basically do a happy dance when they did the deed. :)
All the sexual tension was starting to give me lady blue balls! Happy i got my fill.
Nicolette was young when she crushed hard on Raph. He was the only one in her life that dared to care for her and show a glimpse of decency towards her so how could she not fall in love? Plus he did all the important things for her even when he was Nicolette sister's boyfriend.
In the great scheme of things i really liked her and how she approached things. Obviously some pining for her part seemed like too much for me but what made it work was that Raph was also secretly (he thought) pinning for her too even when he rejected her at the same time.
I really enjoyed this but i really can't wait for Gio's book.
CW: evil bitch of a sister! Horrible parents overall.
