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😒😒😒👀🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️

Thus far, having reading 4 Polyromance books is my favorite, the ending fat a bit rushed. I wouldn't have minded more chapters of like that interaction between gage and his mom,
Also, the sub/dom dynamic of Ryder and Zane.
honestly, I would have loved more chapters of the couples that formed within the group, just them doing cute couple things, them cuddling, them going to like a weekend away, etc.
Evander and Micah😭🥺, I really wanted a few chapters of them hle 😢 even a smut scene, even better, just one scene of them when Evander took him in after being discharged.
The biggest thing I really wanted more cute moments of the couples without Les, individual epilogues would have Seen perfect, Any ZaneRyder, ZaneRyderHolden, GageLeo crumbs I'd eat up🥺😢😭

I loved this book, Story line was not too complicated.I could follow along easily, It was not too complicated and it also kept me entertained.
I loved how everybody was discovering a new. Side of themselves in terms of relationships. Everybody was stepping into a new territory, like we didn't find all of the people already in an established relationship
Loved Gage 😂🤌🏾🫵🏾, boyza was focused‼️😂 He got everyone together, bona kiri he got everyone on board. I loved how he got everyone relaxed, Leo and Holden specifically.
The Way he helped and encouraged Holden with les, nje he was a free soul❤️🥺
that text group Chat scene so far is my Favourite 😂🤌🏾, not gage wanting to see his junk cause of them piecings😂😂😂

It's the kids for me😩🥺♥️. loved the twins.
the pacing felt off for me in some parts cause one minute they are colleagues the next lovers, then Boom the truth comes out, hawu nix boma lovey dovey phase, let's go to the movies, picnic,
I don't know let's date and get to know each other outside work so when the truth comes out. that boss guy would have experienced enough of the real Paolo to make it believable when he chooses to stay instead of walk away.
It felt a bit underwhelming because the real chemistry between yolk and Paolo was not established properly. Wish we had the vitale twins interacting with Yolk's girls😩🥺 boma twin tingz wabo ♥️, with all this said the book was enjoyable.

yho LOVE IS SWEETO😩♥️😭🥺 yeses I loved this book😭♥️😩‼️, It was perfect, it was a slow burn neh but it was not dragging anywhere!
The pacing was perfect. It didn't feel rushed. there were no " stop the bus, how did we get here moments" no " jiki jiki en then kanjani moments" things happened Step by step at a gradual pace.
They actually talked and communicated so well with each other, processing how they felt when they were like a upset about something, eg., the kiss you Ejiro, the Suprise therapy, etc. Instead of frying chips🥺
I loved how they were aware of the sexual tension and chemistry they had with each other.But they didn't rush into things. And the author didn't shave us with unnecessary smut scenes. The smut we had fat so intimate and beautiful 😭😭😭,
Favourite part was when Ejiro started crying while they were busy cause he realised Obi would always check up on him ifhe was still on board and would stop immediately ' OMG that moment he realised he could trust him completely.
the writing Style if I can call it that I loved. It's not too complicated, not simple eather, rnje the writer picked the Perfect phrases and metaphors to depict what she wanted us to see, smell, hear, etc.
My favourite one was the clouds one and hearts wearing chaps😭♥️🤣
1. Obiora’s heart donned chaps and a guitar and started to write a serenade.
--
2.With how reserved Ejiro was, every smile Obiora managed to pull from him felt like a gift—if he saw you fit enough to open up and give you his entire heart—
--
The biggest thing I loved was how they were with each other gentle, firm, kind, genuine, they really became each other's friend before anything else. They were what each other needed.
Ejiro needed somebody to guide and give him a space where he could question and explore his sexuality without being made to feel somehow.
Obi needed somebody to make him understand that he can grieve However he wants and for how long he wants, that he Is are not selfish for wanting to keep the memory of the deceased spouse alive, that the love he has for their dead spouse can coexist with the love Of someone now, of a new partner.

- Quinn putting on the lipstick on Tek, him fitting his dress. Stockings, and heels in that Scene😩♥️, him buying him a pair nje him not being faced ♥️🥺

The tension was tensioning😩🔥🤌🏾‼️ Loved it ke Sana‼️🔥😩 the longing was done in such a way it was not a annoying, that's why it's in my Favourites. the tension kept me on my toes. Delicious suspense
Loved how when Israel realised he loved Reggie, he went Straight to him, Like he didn't hesitate even though he didn't know how to navigate these unknown waters. He was not ashamed and embarrassed to tell everyone about him and Reggie.
Dima was the comedic relief in this one😂

It was good. Not bad,
I don't like how we skated past the gun rape Scene and yes it was rape. Dima didn't apologize, they didn't talk about it, nje it was dead Silence on that. (I say its rape cause technically X didn't consent to having a gun up his🍑)
The reason i'm giving it a 3.5 🌟 Is how Avril wrote the whipping. It's not my cup of tea, but I was not repulsed by. It I kind of enjoyed it to some degree.😬😩🙆🏾♀️🤣
I'll never understand how people get off from being physically whipped.Or get off from pain neh, but Avril wrote it so beautifully that I could feel the love between the 2 of them even though one was inflicting pain on another.
when Dima was at the Club and Said the whipping was not the same I sobbed,😩😭, the same that proceeded was my favourite. X whipping Dima, and there being no cries, no beggings, no moarns from Dima and X wanting them from dima, him apolosing while flocking Dima, then finally Dima crying😩😭♥️🥺🔥
the pacing was a bit off for me cause everything happened so quickly, like jiki jiki X was passionately, deeply in love, kanjani manje

It honestly was not bad, mara the 3rd person narration was a bit confusing.
Zypher I loved xem 🫵🏾😂😆 focused queen. Even though She broke her own heart sometimes.
The book was not as exciting as it should considering all the twists and turns, this entire series honestly.
Loved Seeing the girls getting to know each other mara Zenith hle 😭😭😭😭😭
Hector being the killer was not as shocking as I wanted it to be, what annoyes me is I was Shipping him with Zenith💀🙄
Who I'm tired now, I want to know that they found Luna ‼️🙄
we didn't even know what Alpha wanted to show zypher When they were 18 and he left her there,
