I said what I said, and I don’t know why this was just good for me, but it was just good.
I like a very toxic relationship, and this gave me all that and more I just wish it was longer and kind of more plotted out.

This was just a meh for me, not a bad one just not anything to write home about.
I literally think it’s because I’ve read the prequel, and the story is supposed to go after this story, so then having to read the in between storyline, just wasn’t as appealing as I thought it would be, at least for me.

<strong>Liked it better than book 2</strong>
Wish it was a little more darker, but I did enjoy it!
I am very intrigued by Camden’s story though. So I will be reading that one!

I don’t know why I expected more for how long the story actually is, but I wanted more drama.
Although I will say that the gravel was more than I expected actually way more than I expected.
I also think that the title is misleading like very misleading!

I definitely didn’t expect the way I was feeling by the end of the series. I took almost 2 years from reading the first book, which I think I gave either four or five stars, but as a collective it kind of dropped for me the plot I mean.
I had to reread the first book and then get my mind back into what was going to happen in the second book, because of the cliffhanger, but even the second book still had me questioning a lot of things, especially dealing with loyalty.
I thought the third book would maybe answer the questions, but they’re so many unanswered questions that stemmed from the second book that was never brought up again.
That’s why I rated it low because these are very obvious questions to the plot and and the third book it’s like the people I have questions about loyalty, completely changed personalities of their loyalty from the second book, if you get what I mean.
Into this day, a person that they had very questionable loyalty for doesn’t know all that they did that made everything happen in the first book, so is that just going to go to their grave no one knowing that they weren’t loyal for a long time and then came back loyal again.
That was been like rolling through my head for the series, and as why I did a pallet cleanser because I just had so many questions and in the third book, there’s still more questions to be answered with plot and our first couples personalities completely change.
I recommend reading this series. Yes, just know that some big questions aren’t going to be answered, but the first book is definitely the best!

This was short, teasing, and just what I needed. I am very happy that Juan got his happy ending. I guess the only thing I wish for was that it was longer. this was really good and collectively the brothers deserve their pot at the end of the rainbow and they got them.
I would definitely recommend this if you want a pallet cleanser or if you just want something quick and easy to read.
