"Caleb Reeves was the bane of my existence, and from the moment he’d stepped into my orbit, fate had decided to turn on me."

Travis and Caleb have been teasing us since book one. Every interaction and longing glance just made me more intrigued and never would I have guessed just how deep their history goes. I mean, stepbrothers and former best friends? There has never been even a single hint that these two are family, but it explains so much. There really is a fine line between love and hate because no matter how much they tried, these two were always meant to love each other.

"From the day Travis and I had met, it seemed our destinies were entwined. I’d done my best over the years to untangle myself from his web, only to find myself again ensnared in it."

When their parents force them to live together, all the feelings they'd buried as teenagers are brought up to the surface. Putting them together in the same space just meant that all that tension kept building and building until something had to give. And when that pressure finally burst and their secrets came to light, there was nothing stopping them from finally being together in the hottest of ways.

"We fit together so perfectly, like two pieces of a puzzle that had been pushed around and forced to merge with different parts, when all one needed was the other."

The only thing that I would have changed was the amount of miscommunication that was happening here. I get that they were teenagers when things changed, but for years these two just went on thinking that the other person hated them and it took them being forced into the same space together to actually talk about things and see how wrong their assumptions were. But I did like the parallels between the past and the present. The back and forth between the two timelines worked really well and I liked experiencing that as they did.

“You’re the wilder, crazier half of me I can’t live without."

The Prince's are just as bold and meddlesome as always and I loved how they welcomed Caleb back to the fold like he never left. Every interaction with East just made me more excited for his book and while I'm so sad that it's the last one in the series, I can't wait to read his story! This series has been so fun. It's like reliving my days of binge watching teen dramas, and if you haven't started this series yet, you need to do it asap. The Park Avenue Prince's know how to show people a good time and I've loved going on this journey with all of them!
