An amazing friends to lovers romance set in the Midnight in Dallas universe that finally sees Katie and Dallas explore their feelings for one another.

I absolutely loved getting to see these two friends admit their long-held attraction and figure out what being there for one another looks like. Katie in particular leans on Dallas as she struggles to find a diagnosis for the chronic pain she's been experiencing and Dallas works through what being a supportive partner looks like.

The author did SUCH a great job writing about how difficult it can be for women especially to find doctors willing to listen to their health concerns without being overly dismissive. Katie is lucky in this book to get a diagnosis relatively early but her anxiety and self-doubt about whether it was all in her head was all too relatable.

This could be read as a standalone book but there are lots of cameos from past characters and it would be better enjoyed having read the other books in this series first (plus they're all great so you can't go wrong). I'm so excited to see what's next for this close-knit found family and especially see Luca get his HEA!

Many thanks to the author for sharing an advanced copy of her book in exchange for my honest review!! I was beyond grateful for the opportunity to be an early reader as a forever fan and couldn't read this book fast enough!! It satisfied all my hopes for two of my favorite characters in the series.
