I am SHOCKED by this rating everyone! 

This book will haunt me forever, Dion and Faye caught my attention from the moment I met them and although I was hesitant to read their book I was surprised to not be disappointed. 

Dion and Faye literally began with having no relationship to building what I think is the best Windsor brothers relationship 👀

Dion being extremely patient for Faye had me on my knees in such a passionate way. I have always been a sucker for MMC’s that aren’t afraid to step back and watch the FMC shine and that’s exactly what Dion did. He didn’t hold Faye back but rather gave her the chance to flourish and that is exactly what she did. 

My heart went to Dion as well, his trauma with his parents broke my heart and I am so incredibly glad that he was able to heal with love 

Dion gave Faye a choice despite her never having that in her life and prioritized Faye’s well being over his own.

Tbh I’m waiting for a Dion of my own 😮‍💨

Faye’s story hit close to home for me, like her I grew up in an abusive household so seeing her journey was so inspiring. She’s one of my favorite FMC’s ever, I aspire to be like her in every way. 

This book literally made me sob which was so unexpected… 

Faye’s story reminded me so much of “what was I made for?” By Billie Eilish 😭

Faye and Dion built on each other which I loved their relationship wasn’t only healing for them individually but for them together ❤️‍🩹

Grandma Windsor in this book was also pretty tolerable LMAO, she finally is learning from her grandchildren and I’m glad she is LMAO. 

I can’t wait to reread this in my future 🫶🏼
