This one was so good! I actually switched to the audiobook about halfway through because I didnโ€™t want to put it down just for adulting ๐Ÿคฃ. 

I knew Garrett was going to be a favourite from book one. With his fun, in-your-face personality, I probably shouldโ€™ve guessed there was more going on beneath the surface, but I didnโ€™t expect that side of him. His lows were really low, and it was heartbreaking at times to see how little he thought of himself. I did miss a bit of the sparkle we saw from him before, but his story felt true to who he is, and that made it special. 

Mia was such a confident girlie. I liked her. She was sassy, held her own, and was the perfect match for Garrett. The banter and back and forth between them was great, and they had amazing chemistry. Chapter 35 is definitely burned into my brain. That won't be leaving for a while... ๐Ÿ”ฅ 

I did expect to feel a bit more tension with the whole forbidden/step-sibling thing, but that didnโ€™t come through as much as I thought it would. Garrets' possessiveness and the hidden identity part of the story definitely made up for it, though! 

Overall, I really liked this one. Again, it covered some heavier stuff than I expected, had plenty of spice, and was just a fun read all around. Iโ€™m loving this series and canโ€™t wait to read the next one. Definitely recommend it, and Iโ€™d read it again!
