Damn, this was hawt!! Kristen was all in with all the spice and I'm not mad about it. 🤭
I really liked this story however I wanted something 'more' for Orion. I don't exactly know what... Maybe a conversation between him and Ivy, his sister, would've been it, I'm not sure. I also would have loved to be apart of Orion's & Smith's convo before Orion came back at the end.
I really like where these two took us and where this story went. A crap situation turned into an explosive and emotional relationship where Orion & Dakota felt right but others said it was wrong.
I loved going along with them and seeing Orion melt a bit compared to what I knew of him from the previous book.

Dakota change through the story was great. I like seeing her coming to terms to this dynamic she found herself in with Orion but also seeing be brave and go into the lion's den because others deserve help and she could help the Knights in bringing the whole thing down and Orion wasn't about to stop her from doing it.
She was a bad*** in her own right and I loved her.

Malone is next and I am intrigued for sure. Can't wait!
