Funny, intimate, and even suspenseful at times.
Love how this story interweaved with the stories in the first two books.
Highly recommend the audiobook version.
Not as much spice as the second book but I liked the spice that was present.
The story never became dull to me, but it didn’t get me as engaged and excited as Leather and Lark did.
I’m not a huge fan of when he had to leave and then started writing the letters but I enjoyed everything else.
A great ending to the trilogy.
The final scene eludes to a spin-off series.
