Thank you to Adriana Locke and Hambright PR for the free copy to read and review! 💍

This was such a fun romance. It can probably technically be considered a slow burn because we get a lot of tension and banter leading up to their Vegas wedding, but once they realize getting an annulment would put them both in the spotlight in a way they don't want, they literally fall into their attraction to one another and we get lots of steamy scenes. At other times, this felt a lot like it was instalove, but it really wasn't. These two have known each other for like a decade and everyone around them knew there was some type of connection between them. It just took a drunk night for the two of them to realize how strong that connection was and what it could turn into.

There was a bit of a twist that had nothing to do with Renn and Blakely that I didn't really see coming. I'm interested in seeing if that plays into any future books or if it was just a nice little add-on to this story. As for the big conflict in this book, I really enjoyed the way Adrianna Locke worked it out. And I'm excited to see how it plays out through the rest of the Brewer siblings' stories. And throughout their stories, I really hope we get to see more Foxx. Maybe in Bianca's book? With the other bodyguard mentioned?? 👀
