This wasn't my favorite Catherine cowles book. And I don't feel the urge to binge the rest of the series. I feel like it tackled grief and other issues in a good way. Maybe the rest of the series will be better.

Man I loved this book and I'm so sad this series is over. I feel a huge book hangover coming after finishing this. I loved Lawson and Hallie and their healing journeys over the course of this book. Their chemistry was clear right off the bat. I didn't expect the twists and turns in this book at all! I need to read more of her work now!

I just finished this book this morning and my god it's my favorite out of the series so far! Roan is just my favorite, I loved Aspen and Cady. I didn't see any of the twists coming, and it had me on the edge of my seat for the last quarter of the book!
I'm so sad this series is coming to an end with book five... but can't wait to read more Catherine Cowles books!

Thank you to the author and Truly Yours PR for an advanced copy for an honest review. I loved this book from start to finish. It was a breath of fresh air with an older FMC and a young MMC! This was fun and flirty and emotional. And both characters were mature and handled situations in a good way! I can't wait to read more from this author!

Man I really think if Catherine cowles writes it... I'll read it. I enjoyed this book from start to finish. Brothers best friend isn't really my jam, but this had a touch of enemies to lovers, and so I just vibed with it more. I loved how complex grae and caden are and how they bring out the best in each other as a couple! Loved this!

Man I loved this book from start to finish. I love the world, I love the characters. I especially thought kai and Isabella were great together and balanced each other out. I liked how the story and their relationship progressed. I think the only thing I didn't like was the third act breakup. I despise those... and most of the author's books have them.

Man... I loved this book from start to finish. I'm not usually a fan of the best friends trope... but in this case I loved it. I loved the complexities of Nash and Maddy, and how they both worked through their issues and their guilt to come together. There were twists and turns I didn't see coming! This series is definitely bingeable!

Thank you to the author and happily booked PR for giving me an arc for an honest review. This book was enjoyable and I loved serenity and emeric as characters. I'm not sure the particular kink explored in this is for me, but it was still enjoyable to read and I love how sex positive the author's books are. I'm very interested in the characters introduced and their book, as well as other characters stories. Can't wait to read more from this author!

Man, I loved this book so much. And I am so disappointed in myself that I waited THIS long to read it. I loved Vivian and Dante, and I loved all of the side characters too! I cannot wait to continue this series!
