The epilogue pushed it from a 3 star to a 4 Star.😭♥️ that proposal hle😭♥️🥺

- Fav part was when Dallas whistled to calm Nolan's cry at the funeral😭♥️🥺.

- that wolf. dog hybrid loki has my heart,🥺🥺🥺🥺 he sounds like he looks cute😍

- The mother wa nolan pissed me off for real, Both parents to be exact cause It does not excuse their behaviour‼️ the minute y'all decided to keep the baby was the time Y'all needed to deal with how y'all were raised and decide how y'all wanted to raise this child🫵🏾‼️

I enjoyed this book overall, loved when Dallas would try to be audiable and would speak half words, and Nolan would understand him🥺♥️😭

I felt like a lot of things started to happen towards the end of the book

Loved this book 😭😍🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ the found family aspect of It really warmed my heart😭.

The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is because it's a sports romance and cause of that I couldn't experience it to the cause I don't understand football. Also, because I wish we had at least one chapter where we had landon's Pov 😕😩, would have loved to see when he fell for Luke, After that nine tasting date as well😩😩😩

Riley was messy yho💀✋🏾🙄, her not telling the dad about the football tickets, her throwing the food Luke cooked, her making Luke feel bad about him not knowing football when he was trying to learn💔😕

- Luke I'M glad he snapped out of it and decided to try with his boy cause Emmet was going through It yho🙆🏾‍♀️😕

- favourite part was when they wereat the wine resturant and Luke was describing Landon😭♥️🥺 motho ari he was a Splash of colour in a world of black and white♥️😭😭😭, and that part where he was like Landon isa part of him, he is the untapped undiscovered hidden parts of luke😭♥️😭♥️😭♥️😭.

- Also when Luke drew Landon after the wine date😭♥️🥺, when he went shopping to look for landon😂♥️🥺 And when Emmet drew both his dads kissing😭😭😭

I loved how there was no" gay panic" when Luke realised he had feelings for landon. He didn't try and run away from them. when they kissed , he did'nt say it's a mistake. he followed landon and stood on business‼️‼️‼️‼️

- would have loved to have gotten Landon's Pov after the kiss, when he ran home, So we can better understand his reaction, to have more information on the horrible love experiences that the kiss triggered😕.

- Loved Bowen and Emmet's friendship. the "For the fans" PTSD ya di Stepbrother had me worried that those two might try nonsense 😭😂

Why did they have to make him preggas now😭😭😤🙄🚮 these guys are still so awkward towards each other, still tiptoeing around each other‼️

Yhoooo BHOD KE SANA, BHOD YOU HEAR ME‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

I feel like the Author Is underselling these two😭😭😭😭, they have the potential to be the best " arranged " marriage, slow burn typa vibe, I'm falling for my husband vibe😤😩, like it would Slap if he gave himself time to unpack these characters.

Their books are heart breakingly Short😭😭😭🚮 and there's still so much meat on the bones hle. Devon's self-esteem issues, him feeling he does not belong, constantine's trust issues, him not wanting to be vulnerable, etc. him not believing in the notion of love, nje there's a lot and the author is getting crumbs😭🚮🙄

Loved the suspense in this one🤌🏾😆, the author didn't drag it out to the point it became annoying.

I loved how she used everyone to tell the story, like we were jumping from person to person as we got closer to the truth, It was exciting😆.

- The time jumps, back and forth wa done right cause I enjoyed it

The Incest part threw me off, neh, mara. I was so intrigued with finding out how he died that I moved past it so quickly💀😭.

- How he died💔😭😭😭😭😭😭 yho I didn't see that coming kise🤞🏿 maybe cause of how the author was busy mentioning how much vivek lost weight, coupled with his phasing out episodes I really though he had like a rare psychological disorder Kanti... 

- loved Somto😂😂😂😂 my fighter that one🫵🏾🤣, as for useless rat🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm glad Osita didn't disclose what they were doing cause yho💀😭

Ebenezer 😭🤣😂 yerr he killed me, rubbish man, not him calling mama florance a wicked woman, rich coming from you sir🫵🏾🙄🚮 And chika‼️🙄🚮 sies maan!

The nigerian society was a nice touch, kinda reminded me of bo Stockvela, hari dumeli vibes .

It was fine, nothing wow about it. It was what I was craving to read, Smut between 4 men🤷🏾‍♀️😂, The plot was not too serious.I could follow along, but the main reason for reading this was the smut, that double-edged dildo Scene🔥😩♥️. 

the mafia part was not convincing, they forgave Jaxon too quickly, technically Jaxon didn't resign🤷🏾‍♀️, the russian pet names were cute, Them sitting on the floor jackson and elijah could never be me✋🏾😂🚶🏾‍♀️‼️
nkari bo makoti,  that no eye contact what What😂✋🏾‼️ give me Zero😂🚶🏾‍♀️‼️

that necklace part showed me I'm far gone. I thought he was talking about another type that is HANDMADE💀😂

It was cute, and nothing much really happened. 

It's basically about a professor who breaks his code of conduct and falls in love with one of his students

 while cheating on his wife because their marriage is falling apart, and then the wife dies.  By mistake, car accident and then the professor feels guilty so he decides to ghost the student by moving to another state without telling him even though they've made plans to be together.  Long story short,  the student graduates and ends up working at the same university the professor now works at .And they reunite and get married the end.

 It was not bad. Not much was happening . Loved the banter between Brayden and the wolf😂🔥🤌🏾 funny.

that blood scene with Brayden made me realise I read filth xem😂💀😭

the dog references from the prince kinda annoyed me. I won't lie🙄🚶🏾‍♀️

Too long, . lost interest along the way and was lost in some parts, 

ebile that twist that throne was working with fox's mom didn't land cause we took So long to get to the end hai🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️

For the 1st time, I jumped a smut scene🤣✋🏾hai. It was too much. also, I think it's because I was over everything because all the guys were focusing on the girl🙄 like you guys. are boyfriends SO I was expecting some gentle parts between the guys .

I wanted a scene between Ky and Ven, Ky and Throne. Missed oppertunity was in that shower🙄🚮😩😩😩😩, and Throne and ven😩😩😩😩😩, heis clearly wanted each other, but we got dololo🙄🙄🙄🙄. 

- This book tmade me realise why I prefer poly Relationships to be just guys,  Cause the minute there's a female, the focus becomes her and the guys that are meant to be also each other's boyfriends, we don't get much of them😒😒😒👀🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️
