 5/5 ⭐️ For my feral gremlin (>ᴗ•)

- The last of the Bertha boys happy ever after is finally here. And we got the best for last with this perfect ending for the series which gave me all the feels with the roller coaster of emotions

I have been waiting for Xander and Derek's book since Book 1 of the series. Xander, my beautiful broken boy, is so precious, and I loved how the relationship developed slowly.

- Derek was definitely the rock for our boys here. Seeing the dynamic of all four guys (Seven, Molly, Xander, Derek) was so satisfying. I adore their found family.

Saxon's portrayal of Xander's mental health was very realistic. He wasn't fixed out of the blue, and he had to work through his problems over the years to improve himself.

- Overall this was an amazing story.

What do we get:
✮MM Romance
✮ Lovable MCS
✮Nurse and artist
✮Forbidden romance
✮ Found family
✮ Mental health representation
✮ Age gap
✮Hurt/ Comfort
✮Dual POV
✮ HEA

Some of my favorite things:
-Our bug loving Derek
- Our jealous racoon
- Manny been the best bro
- All the Bertha boys 💗
- Of course always a favorite our grandma and our grumpy orange cat
