I knew Bash’s story was going to be fun, and it did not disappoint! I’m absolutely loving this series and Bash and Anastasia only added to that love.
Anastasia was such a strong woman, and even if she had some guilt from her past, she didn’t let that bring her down. She was so feisty and I loved it because that was exactly what Bash needed in his life! It was great to see Anastasia work so hard to protect her brother and do what she could to make sure that he was safe because he had done that for her her whole life. It was also great to watch Anastasia continually bring Bash down a peg when he needed it because no one had ever had the power to do that to him before she came into his life. Their banter was hilarious and I loved that Anastasia was able to laugh with Bash, even when she didn’t want to admit that he was breaking down her defenses little by little.
Sebastian Everette was the perfect combination of golden retriever and man obsessed. Bash was always looking for the next fun thing, so when he comes across Anastasia doing something she shouldn’t be, he’s intrigued. I love that it only took him a few times talking to Anastasia to become fully obsessed with her! He’s definitely an Everette, and if you’ve read the other Twisted Vows books, you’ll know exactly what I mean because those men take insta-obsession to a whole new level (and I’m here for it). I love that Bash was determined to get Anastasia to open up to him and let her walls down. He was always willing to make her laugh, too, which was great to see because Anastasia didn’t always have that. Once he decided he wanted her, he proved to Anastasia that he wanted her forever and it was great seeing her find a man who wanted her that deeply, too.
Bash and Anastasia were two people you wouldn’t expect to work well together, but they were beyond perfect for each other. I loved watching them find each other and seeing Bash help Anastasia learn to let someone else take care of her the way she deserved. They were so sweet together, even despite the darker elements of the story. There was a bit of mystery in this one that kept me guessing until the end, and I loved it! This was such a great story, and I can’t wait to see what the Everette family has in store for us in the final installment of the series!
Thank you, J. Wilder and Grey's Promotions, for providing me with an ARC!
