Well I already talked a lot about this book so I’m more knowing of my feelings and I’m telling you, no other book besides EHB and EHM made me feel so many emotions in a span of a matter of hours!
I talked to myself during my reading because I just couldn’t believe what was happening. I also felt sometimes really frustrated with choices the characters made but all of it was so worth it.
I feel like the goal for the writer is always to make the reader feel something for the story that they created it and for sure Ivy Smoak delivered it. This book was as much funny as sad to read
I’m not a crier while reading books, actually only 4 times did that happened and 3 of them were with Ivy’s books . So that already tells you that wether I like it or not I’m always in a rollercoaster of emotions . And make no mistake I love feeling for the characters that I’m reading!
And the writing is just amazing just like Ivy is.
Can we also acknowledge Tanner and Nigel?! Also Ash?

OMG, this duet was everything that I needed this year! This was ridiculously amazing.
I loved learning why Cole is the way he is, his mind, how he perceives everything and his feelings or lack there of.
Mara came a long way and the only constant in her life was Cole and he definitely didn’t disappoint.
Mara came on the other side stronger than ever and I loved seeing her exorcised her demons and heal properly . You would think that Cole would be a bad influence for her but I don’t see it that way.
Mara was full of internal scars and just surviving but then Cole came along and she realized that there’s more to life than just surviving and seeing other people succeed. Cole showed her that she also had everything in her to be like the others, she could live her dream and be untouchable…
That ending tho, I never thought it would end that way but honestly it was the right ending for Mara and Cole. They are the white and black snack indeed.
They are perfect for each other, they complement each other so damn well, I loved them.
I think Mara is my second favorite heroine this year and mind you, Riona from Broken Vow being my nr 1 so spoiler alert, I’m obviously a Sophie Lark Stan.
5/5 stars and favorite duet of the year.

4.5/5 stars.
Honestly I also have the opinion that Maddox and Marcella’s story didn’t need to be divided in two parts.
Marcella was supposed to be more involved in the business in the famiglia but we didn’t see that which was a bummer. I also found some stuff repetitive namely some thoughts that Maddox had regarding Marcella.
Maddox is a total puppy following his owner and it’s sweet. He is also lethal when he needs to be which was good to see.
Marcella had a lot of things to overcome and Maddox was her cheerleader every step of the way which I enjoyed.
Maddox saw Marcella as a Queen and so he treated her like one and it was really good.
The last part threw me out a little, like out of nowhere we were 10 years ahead so I went back to check if I missed something …
They both grew on me quite a lot in this part two and their sexy time improved a lot from part one to this.
This was great but again it didn’t need two parts to tell this story.
I’m still excited for Amo’s story but I’m gonna keep my expectations in check this time.

I’m happy to finally have the background of Sariel and to see how everything went down.
That ending is Cassius, Stephanie and their daughter was so precious

This book… 6/5 stars
This was better than I was hoping for. I was in the fence reading Cruel King since Nicole was an idiot and did a lot of stupid stuff but I also knew that if I read that, this book would be even more rewarding so I did read Cruel King before this and I honestly recommend you do this too because afterwards you will appreciate even more Nicole’s character development.
I also must mention that I buddy read this with my book bestie and it was probably THE best buddy read we had so far cause we had a lot of back and forth on theories and such so it was really fun.
I knew Daniel was gonna be a goner when Nicole showed up in his life, he didn’t fooled me like he fooled himself. Since I read Cruel King I knew Daniel’s character so I knew that deep down he had issues and had a good heart.
With Nicole I didn’t liked her very much when she was young but I also knew she was under a lot of pressure so from the get go I knew she had her reasons for doing the stupid stuff she did. Then stuff happened and she had to grew up suddenly and that part really showed her character. Despite being this fake person in front of others she was always suffering inside. The character development for Nicole was out of this world, she turned up to be this amazing, kind and fierce survivor and I’m her cheerleader.
Their relationship was honest to god so sad but also beautiful in a way.
They kept missing each other, misunderstanding each other and pushing each other away when in reality they only wanted to have someone to love them unconditionally.
Their sexy times was really good although for some reason ( in my head apparently there was hints about kinky stuff 🙈) I thought they were gonna be a big kinky but no… was it really good though? Yes it was!
I end up from disliking Nicole to really really liking her but Daniel had my heart from the start and this was a point of discussion in my buddy read, we may had some disagreements here 😂.
The humor on this book was awesome and it blew my mind that Rina could make me laugh out loud and also make me cry in THE SAME CHAPTER.
Daniel and Nicole had so many similarities which made them even more perfect for each other.
Now I had to address other characters because they were amazing.
Kingsley and Aspen? Hello? That right there was some next level angst and sexual tension, I want their book so bad!
Astrid and Levi and their spawns 😂 ( if you read this you would know why this was funny) made me happy every time they appeared.
Now do I think Astrid needed an apology from Nicole? Yes I did. Did I get that? No. I realize reading this that I’m not the type of person who forgives and forget, I can hold a grudge. 🤷♀️
But Astrid was so understanding towards Nicole, she didn’t judge and I appreciated that. Also this right here was a point of discussion where I realized that apparently I’m a tinny bit defensive towards Astrid and Levi 🙈. Me and my book bestie agree to disagree.
Every time Knox and Nathaniel are in the same room or group chats it ends up being hilarious.
Btw I’m still waiting for Knox and Anastasia’s wedding 🙈
Oh and everything involving the word Junior? It was Priceless and hilarious! 😂
Jayden was flat out adorable and he had some funny choice of words * chefs kiss*. I should note that we had some crazy theories regarding Jayden, my theory was so wrong!
The whole thing involving Chris, I wanted blood and I didn’t get it but there was revenge so was semi satisfied 🤷♀️
I want asap a book about Zach who’s Daniel’s brother! He was so detached and cold and so I want to see him happy!
This was again an amazing read and now I have Daniel competing with Knox for the number 1 spot on my list!

I really don’t like snakes but this was everything and more!
I’m glad I’ve read this for the romance takeover readathon and I’m continuing the series for sure.

Overall I liked it but I had a few issues.
One of them being the choice of words. How many times can you say the same thing over and over again? Luckily towards the middle/ end things words started being not too repetitive.
I don’t know what to feel about Laura anymore. She does some dubious shit and the one doing everything right is Massimo.
Also I think Laura is a bit wishy washy with Massimo and her feelings towards him. Maybe it’s because she’s pregnant maybe not but Nacho shows up and that happens?

I read it in one sitting. This is Siobhan and she didn't disappoint. I loved every book that I read by her and this one was great.
I highly recommend it

Love it!
Catty and Cross love is so amazing. I fell in love with them right from the beginning.
Although it says you could read this as a standalone, I suggest that you read the previous one . I haven’t read the previous one and I love this but I’m pretty sure that if I did, this one would’ve been even better.
