🌶️🌶️🌶️/5.

This couple had an interesting set up in the previous book and all in all I loved it.
Maisy is on par with the other FMC's in this series. She has some funny curse words. After everything she went through, she ended up gaining a stalker aka the one. 😉
I liked that she didn't show much fear when she received some less than desirable gifts from Nico. She just wasn't afraid of Nico however she was very afraid of the power he had over her body.

Nico was a delight especially when he thought that letting Maisy refuse him and giving her questionable gifts was enough to apologize for what he did in the previous book. 😅
I think he was already too much in love by that point. I love how willing to spill other's 🩸 he was whenever it was warranted but also how possessive of her he was.
I must say I was somewhat skeptical of the promise he gave Maisy and that he would in fact stop his takeover plan but the author surprised me in that regard. The man was too far gone to think about anything but Maisy. 🥰

I wish Maisy told earlier about what she found out but I'm assuming that it's gonna be relevant in Marco's book which I'm very excited for.
What Marco did when he met Maisy was shady but I think I'll get over it soon because of what I've seen so far, he is a good guy but with a lot of resentment inside his heart. I have high expectations for him.
I loved seeing all the previous characters in one place and seeing how they all dealt with each other. I think the whole situation was well handed and I look forward to see more of them together in one place and trying to be a family without deadly looks. 🙃
