I feel like I said this about the previous book BUT this one is my favorite now! 😌

This was the finale of Beautifully Brutal series but it’s not the last time we’ll see the characters. 🥰

Evan was the elusive Doughty brother. We only saw him here and there when someone needed him but other than that we knew nothing about him except that he was a copy of Desmond Doughty and that was not necessarily a good thing.
Evan was just what I needed him to be. Teegan was his first love and you know what they say, no one forget their first love. Not even after 10 years apart and that’s precisely what happened. I loved that Evan knew he found his soulmate in Teegan and he knew no one wouldn’t compare so he didn’t even try to move on. Same goes for Tee. I’m not a huge fan of “flashbacks” but I love seeing them when they were young and in love and exploring their sexuality. They learned each other on a deep level and that was never forgotten, not even 10 years later. They were also best friends and that was felt too. They understood each other so well even after all the stuff they went through (currently timeline). 
I just love how they were together as if 10 years hasn’t gone by and their love is even stronger than before.

Teegan has been through it. She feel like there’s nothing left of her to give but Evan proves her wrong. I also like that even when she had those feelings/thoughts, she also saw she could do something to help others and simply not drown in despair which would also be fair. I like that she took what she went through as a starting fire and then she just let it burn which made her stronger and braver than before. She inadvertently became the queen  that Evan needed and together they will Reign. 🥰
I just love these two together! It’s difficult for me to love second chance romance but Emma does it again. She knows how to do them.

What/who kept these two apart 10 years ago was not exactly a surprise to me because if you know the characters, you will figure it out. I like that Emma didn’t took longer to reveal the what and who. To me it was at a right time in the story (50%) which was a good place and it made sense. 

Desmond Doughty is a polarizing character (I feel like I say this every time 😂). I end up loving the guy every time! I honestly think he’s my favorite side character because he brings all sides of me out to play and like I said I always end up loving him. I wonder if anyone else feel like this about him.

Anyways I LOVED seeing everyone and how intricate everyone is. They feel like true family and they with no doubt support each other no matter what. If someone needs to go to war, they will do it. There’s no second guessing and I just love that.
And all the babies! Also Hallie is terrrifying. 😂 when they said “can you imagine how she will be when she’s a teen?” And I just shudder just thinking about it. Mark my words, she will rule the word! I just love her, she’s just adorable.
Emma put me through the wringer with the last 20%. She made me cry! What a finale yall! I was feeling it alright.

I loved this book in case it wasn’t obvious and it was almost a 6 stars for sure. I honestly cannot wait for her next book. It’s gonna be 🔥.
