THIS BOOK. GODDAMMIT.
I am so in love with this book. The plot was unpredictable and the romance was impeccable— a perfect balance of both.

- forbidden romance
- age gap
- murder mystery
- mind blowing plot twist
- found family

"Sisters are different flowers from the same garden."

Dive into a mind blowing mystery-romance novel with Sofia Raymond and Maddox Brooks. It is so much more than a love story. It's about sisterhood, about finding the right person and being able to trust them.

I will sell my soul just to spend a minute with Maddox. He is so perfect?!?! I will never get over how protective Maddox was when it came to Sofia and Valentina.

“You won’t apply for guardianship, Sofia. Because I will. I’ll ask for custody of Valentina.”

The moment all of us fell in love with Maddox. It was phenomenal.

Don't even get me started on Sofia. There wasn't a single moment where I disliked Sofia's behavior. I don't care what other people say, everything Sofia did was justified. She had her own boundaries. She had her own reasons. Everything she did was to protect her sister- Valentina. I LOVE Sofia and I'll always defend her no matter what. She went through so much, my heart breaks for her. She's such a fighter.

I highly recommend this book! Go read it.
