I really enjoyed this novel, and here is a little breakdown for those wondering. Plot was well-written and concluded the entire series very nicely.

Lucian: 
This man. I really do think he means well. I’m also really happy I got to see more and more of his backstory as the novel progressed. We got glimpses of his character in the first two but I don’t think we really understood him. He is so misunderstood and I think at times really misunderstands himself. We see this in discussions with his therapist. I love the growth of this character and how it’s builds. I think most of this growth is self-realization over things just happening to him. He is so broody and over-protective. I am a sucker for those kinds of characters. 
 
Sloane:
This girl is a firecracker. She is sarcastic and witty and just so fun to see what she will say next. I feel like she is  rooted and know who she wants and where she wants to go next. Even at the expense of her own happiness you see her making the tough decisions time and time again. She is so protective in a way that is similar to Lucian but vastly different at least in their methods.  Her character as well as Lucian are just trying to do their best in the way that they think is best. I’m glad we truly got to see for the final novel.  
 
Spice: 
I love the spicy scenes in this novel. I feel like for both Sloane and Lucian, how they get there and how they interact during, before, and after is very true to their characters. Most of the scenes had this incredibly funny banter that just fits these characters so well. Even their arguments were foreplay. If you like some good spicy scenes…well look no further than Suit Daddy.
