First off, THE AUDIO IS TOP TIER! Teddy Hamilton & Savannah Peachwood were perfect as Nate & Essie! They perform in duet style, & the banter, the emotions, the chemistry, they were just the best duo & made the reading experience even better! Highly recommend listening while reading!

I love me the grumpy sunshine trope, & if Nate & Essie aren't the epitome of that, I don't know what is! Nate after a bad breakup is so anti-love, he doesn't believe in it anymore & he has a very cynical outlook on love. Essie is the complete opposite! She loves love, & this has brought her heartbreak after heartbreak, but she still believes in it and wants that fairytale type love! 

Now these two shared a moment 6 years prior to this present day, & neither have been able to forget it, but both have thoughts on what happened & why Nate ghosted. The animosity that is between them makes for some delish tension, & when it boils over, HOLD ONTO YOUR PANTIES! They have insane chemistry, & their FWB situation is sooo gooood! 

Not going to give too much away, but their journey to their HEA is such a fun, but heartwrenching, ride. Their feelings become so much more than FWB, but it scares them both. Plus, Nate has some hang ups to work through for sure. 

PS: Getting to see how all the Terror characters intertwine & all the extended connections always makes me so happy! Plus the wedding?! I bawled, okay?!

PSS: Nate's mother. EFFFFF HER! That is all.
