I finished this series and honestly wish I just knew how to dnf things without feeling bad about it. 

Not to judge anyone that is into that sort of thing, but I hated with a passion how they really seemed to ramp up the sibling thing here. I could not stomach the constant “little sister/ big brother” thing. It was taking all my willpower in the other books to forget they were step-siblings anyway to be honest. 

This book would have been a lot better paced and had a plot worth investing in if there wasn’t a sex scene every other page. The smut was great mostly, but there can definitely be too much and the plot pacing suffered as a result in this case. The book didn’t need to be this long. 

Otherwise the writing was probably technically fine but I think this was the worst of the series for the cringe factor of their nicknames, the predictable Ted plot twist and the unwarranted epilogue. Sorry!
