Crushed But Not Defeated by Nicole Dykes

4.0

4 stars…
This was by far the best of the books. It was kinda friends to lovers to enemies to friends to lovers which I like. I like the second chance stuff and their past although I feel like I really wanted more background and info about their first time together… like how did Roman not know? Seems odd to me but whatever. 

I think my biggest complaint about this was Andrew just getting absolutely demolished by his friends for not forgiving Miles and it feels like he never forgives himself… I think it’s fair he held the person he loves to a higher standard than everyone else and I feel like it was fair of him to get understandably upset and feel like Miles was abandoning a future he saw. I think they weren’t on the same page or in the right place and probably needed to grow separately before being together but I think making Andrew seem like a villain was a bit much to say the least.

Overall this series was not my fav and I kinda hate read it but it went quick, I was always hoping to get more depth out of these but it never happened.

1/5 on spice. 1/5 on kink. 1/5 on tears.
