I absolutely loved this book!! Nate and Essie’s story was perfect. I loved that the book was centered around Tristan and Rix’s wedding. We got to see all the previous characters in the series celebrating the couple that started it. “Being your best man, Tristan, and being able to be part of this journey with you has really restored my faith in love.” I love that not only did we get the team and the Badass Babe Brigade, but Kodiak and Lavender from Love, Hearts and Truths series, and Cammie and Chase from Tilton University were included in the wedding celebrations. I love how all these series are being brought together. Not to mention the teaser that Quinn Romero was traded to the Terror. Nate and Essie were so great together. I felt so bad for how Nate believed he was so broken and unlovable, but it was so satisfying seeing him grow and wanting to be better for Essie. “She could be mine, and I could be hers.” Essie is such a sweetheart and I love that we were able to see her being more than the pretty girl and that she found her Grumpy Prince who showed he could be Prince Charming for her. I love that all the characters are imperfect and that it is constantly shown that no matter what trauma or insecurities you have, you can overcome them and be happy, as long as you make the effort. I CAN’T wait for If You Claim Me, seeing Connor help out with Tristan and Rix’s Wedding issues and the teaser of Dred and Connor announcing their engagement out of nowhere.
