Am I honestly surprised that Ruth has smashed my expectations of another one of her books? Nope!
To say I have been anticipating Archer and Darcy's story is an understatement like no other. I laughed, I cried, I screamed and I swooned... But my heart is so full! π
Archer has been pining over Darcy for the past two years, although he knows nothing can come from it. Best friends little sister and coach's step daughter... The odds are stacked against him. She is simply off limits.
Darcy has also recently come out of a long term relationship with a cheating ex and isn't looking for anything other than 'fun'. Enter Archer, resident playboy and someone who could definitely rock Darcy's world. Their chemistry and sexual tension is crazy mad to the point it becomes inevitable for them both. Giving into temptation is easy, but when Darcy thinks their night was a one and done, Archer knows he's in for one heck of a heartbreak... Unless he can somehow convince her to fall in love with him too π©ββ€οΈβπ¨
Ruth can literally do no wrong in the men she writes. I simply dare you not to fall for them... How the MMC's fall first and hard for their women and become absolute simps. I ATE THAT UP! Seriously, nothing gets me more than straight up cheese and I am here asking for more!
Archer was literally the G.O.A.T in the simp department. If I thought the Morgan men were down bad for their women, Archer was simply on another level. The way he adored, cherished and worshipped Darcy... Major, major swoon! π« I loved his character growth in this and how he was determined to prove that his playboy days were long over. Darcy was the real deal... Not a fling but someone he truly wanted.
Darcy was that one girl who I must say was naive at first, but also secretly yearning to be loved. She doesn't think any more of her 'fling' with Archer, until he shows up time and time again when she needed him the most. She doesn't think Archer would want to settle down for her, given his playboy status. I loved how Archer threw caution to the wind and showed her who he really was - raw and real and someone just hopelessly in love with her π
I seriously can't wait to see what more Ruth brings us in the last and final book in the Blade Kings series. I cannot fathom how bittersweet it's gonna be... But with a possible (?) Redemption arc on the horizon? COUNT ME IN!! ππ»ββοΈ
Thank you so much to Ruth and Wordsmith Publicity for the eARC, in exchange for an honest review π«Άπ»
