What an emotional roller coaster of a ride this book was! I had not expected the story to take the twists and turns that it did but I am not disappointed. I have read all of Kayleigh's books, and they keep getting better! I am not a big contemporary reader but for specific authors, I make an exception.
Rafferty was such an unhinged and angry character. His past hurts and betrayal drove him to make some insane decisions in the entirety of this book lol. His past to present POVs were intense. He's one of the characters that remind you of how the air goes still before a tornado hits. You know danger is coming but you just can't get to safety quickly enough. Even though he is a badass there are moments of vulnerability in his POV and the way he acts with Posie. He was a very consistent and well-rounded character.
Posie also intrigued me. Even though she acts shy and demure she definitely has an edge to her. She is loyal to a fault and incredibly selfless. She will do whatever it takes to protect the ones she loves. Even with the wrath of Rafferty coming down on her in full force she never falters. I would say her love for Rafferty is the definition of unconditional.
If you are looking for a contemporary romance filled with twists and turns, spice, betrayals, second chance romance, unhinged morally gray MMC, and surprisingly fiery FMC this is the book for you. I am so excited I was able to read the ARC! Butterflies & Vicious Lies is out on Jan 13!
