Loved the first book in the series, but this one did not scratch that itch for me. Read this if you’re looking for a grumpy/sunshine & diverse relationship. I loved Iris, and there were some really great parts to the book, but it definitely just fell flat.

Touches on emotional abusive relationships, but doesn’t have much of a character development in the end.

Would have loved it if Declan didn’t emotionally abuse everyone the entire book & then say “oh I want to be a better person” like where was the proof. He ended up just buying her things to apologize for his abuse, when in reality that is how abusive relationships continue!
I would have just preferred to see some extra development like Rowan in the first book. I usually prefer a duel POV, but every time it was Declan’s POV I just felt bored - like there was no development for his behavior, he knew it was wrong yet continued.
