After Reaper I was very excited for Tara and Wrath and they didn't disappoint.
Wrath is a man of few words and never messed with SweetπŸ‘s (I got creative here πŸ˜‚) before so why would he want Tara as an Old Lady? Well after everything that went down, Wrath felt like the only one who could protect her and he wouldn't failed her even if it meant πŸ’€.
I must say, there's just something about a big grumpy man who doesn't trust anyone besides 2 people but still melts for his woman. 😌

Tara was refreshing. She went through something similar to what Natalie did but where Nat struggled, Tara already had some important tools, given by her mother, that would help her overcome/ digest what she went through. Obviously she also did therapy and I liked seeing it but overall I loved how she dealt with everything and once she was more secure in herself, she let Wrath know how everything was going to be and he had a choice to make. Thank god Wrath is a smart man and I didn't put off something inevitable.

Wrath is a slave for Tara's love. He is a grumpy man but he's a big cuddler and most importantly (but not really πŸ˜…) he loves the spicy romance books Tara buys. πŸ˜‰
Speaking of spicy, they were on πŸ”₯. I was very skeptical at first because I've heard a lot about Wrath's preferences and the things that he eluded to wasn't matching what I thought these tendencies were supposed to be and I thought it was a no burger but boy was i wrong. Primal play that i actually loved, some marking cuz hot and it suited Wrath well and then mindless pleasure all around. Loved it!
Wrath became a bit lighter and more free with his emotions around Tara and I loved seeing it.
I loved them together.

I have questions now.
What happened to Elanora? It seems like she's gone and I don't like it. πŸ‘€
Sunny was a damn mess. I understand why but damn it was hard to see it especially since she sort of caused everything. I wonder if later on there will be a book about her and her Old Man because it seems like they really loved each other but they are stuck in their habits and miscommunication and it's a hot mess. I would be interested in reading about them and their hea even when I'm still salty about the whole thing that went down in this story.
Our boy Colt is out there trying to ger his baby momma to come with him and somehow he ends up in deep stuff that will explode very soon. I'm very interested to know how they met and how they are gonna come together once again.
Nat's ex is back at it again and I hope i see the day Nat is the one to kick his stinky behind. She has been training with Wrath for ages so by the time everything comes to a head, she will be ready. I can feel it! 😌

I also can't forget about the old man that owned the bookstore. He delivered some wisdom words to Tara and I loved him even though he appeared on page 2 or 3 times and I hated what happened but he was a good man and he sacrificed himself for someone who was worth it and he had a good send off. I kinda wish I could see it happen though but it is what it is.

Loved this story and I can't wait for Colt.
