I loved this book.
The characters were beautifully written, and the relationships between them is what set this story apart for me! Lucy Score pays so much attention to the subconscious reactions between characters which really adds deeper emotion and realism. The level of wholesome family vibes in this book is unmatched. Please if you want a book that's going to make you smile every other page, read this. And the comedy?! I genuinely laughed out loud at least once every chapter.
This was such an interesting concept with the romance and the darker storyline. The violence was unexpected but was written well and wasn't too violent, just dramatic. Also the spice was a nice touch and built up really well with the tension throughout the chapters. Knox's pov was fantastic and gave a fresh insight into all character mindsets and actions.
Also the fuckable levels. Lucian, Knox, Nash...always lot's to think about. The spicy scenes were fun, detailed and actually added to the story rather than just being there for spicy entertainment. However the use of sentences such as "long thick weapon of mass destruction" had me closing the book and missing the person I was before reading. That being said, the amount of life changing quotes I read in this book (especially from Knox) thank you Lucy Score.
I didn't really see any context or reason for Knox's actions at the start of the book. His harshness was frustrating as again there didn't seem to be much context for this so he just seemed unnecessarily mean. Also a lot of character relationships yet to be explored so clearly set up for the other books in the series, but the characters are loveable enough to want to read about them further.
