The story line was great but the execution was lacking to me especially compared to PenPal and Perfect Strangers. Some of the character development felt lazy/sloppy and there were too many plot holes. I still enjoyed but was overall underwhelmed.

My 1st ever true SciFi book as well as 1st ever dramatized audiobook. I have a lot of mixed feelings.  I dont think i like dramatized audio, which is shocking, I just found myself extremely distracted my all the background noises.
The story itself was hard to follow at times, especially the world building and all the characters. That being said I will be listening to book 2 (not dramatized version).

This book is truly riveting. It so vividly illustrates messages on the degrading of humanity and society under the influencr of extreme patriarchy and how women actually so often feed that fire. This is a story of the power and strength possible in female solidarity. The theme gentle perservence in small daily actions really spoke to me. I will be recommending this book to everyone I know.

Im not sure when I will recover from this book, and honestly, I'm not sure I even want to. This book took ahold of me and did not let go. I did not in any way, shape, or form expect this book from the cover. This is not a little silly, smutty love story. This is a psychological masterpiece with a heavy helping of smut! My mind is actually blown.

Con: the frequent use of "my palms are sweaty "...relax Eminem and find a different way to describe your anxiety!

This was my first book by this author and it was really a great book. Romance but also just a really good piece of contemporary fiction.  I loved the complexities of the story line as well as the wholesome organic development of the love story. I enjoyed every moment and I found myself thinking about the characters when I wasnt reading. My only con was I disliked both the main characters names😂

A nice little conclusion to Under Your Scars....it was actually a happy ending and somehow made all the trauma of the 1st book end

This book was not what I was expecting. To me it was what Flock tried to be. It was dark billionaire romance with a million twists. Joke was on me when at 70% I thought "this is predictable " and then I didn't even see the end coming!

When I tell you these characters are so real to me! I truly felt like I knew them all and was so fully invested in their stories.  I didn't want the book to end. Beautiful beautiful story about love, family, marriage, parenthood, mental health, addiction, and just life in all its tragic yet amazing complexities.

I really wasn't expecting the ending to go so dark for this book! I really enjoyed book 2 of the series. It was definitely more robust in terms of plot, character growth, and just overall writing than the 1st book, which I loved. Potential spoiler: I really hope Callum is end game, but I have a feeling it's going to be Blake or someone else awful, and I dont know if I can handle that!

Wow, that was really fantastic! I found myself immediately drawn in and was truly invested in every single character. I kept coming up with theories on what happened, and I was wrong every single time. First 5 star thriller this year so far for me!
