Gaaaahhhh! I loved this book!
𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥 is a freaking delight. Boone and Eve are EVERYTHING. Evie is hardworking, sweet, and relatable. I loved reading about her growth in this book as she goes from being kind of lost in her life to choosing a direction and purpose and then getting at it! And Boone was so insanely sexy. He's such a cinnamon roll hero and if you like guy-takes-care-of-sick-girl trope then buckle up, bitches!...because it is so damn good.
I really loved that Boone is a character who has been in an emotionally abusive relationship in the past. This is so often relegated to female leads. His experience was handled with realism, honesty, and compassion. So well done! I really wish therapy had been part of his healing process because I think we need more male characters in therapy.
The steam in 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥 was melt-yo-kindle hot and the slow burn of this fake-relationship really amps up the chemistry. Book sex is so much better when we have been nibble horny breadcrumbs for a hundred pages first. Just sayin'.
I should mention that this book doesn't quite succeed as a standalone. The only reason I came to realize it wasn't the first book in the series is because I got to a point where I thought "who are all of these characters and what are these half-told back stories about them? I will definitely go back and read the series from the beginning because this book was great!
I absolutely loved 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥! It had meaningful friendships, complex characters, tackled some tough issues, and provided a decidedly wonderful HEA to Boone and Eve. Now I'm off to start this series from the beginning!
𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟: Rated R / 1-4 descriptive sex scenes, may have harsh language.
𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦: cheating ex, emotionally abusive ex
𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟𝗦: 3/5 - So many feels you might tear up a little.
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
