I fear this is my least favorite Sara Cate book that I've read. I appreciate that Sara was trying to break out of using adult clubs as a focal point for a series. I think the premise of the house being exchanged between the Barclay siblings (at least that's my assumption) is interesting and has the potential to be great.
My biggest issue is that these two are so toxic together and don't make sense as a couple at all. I didn't understand their relationship dynamic from hate to love. I think a lot of this had to do with the time jumps, which I get were necessary to move the story along, but it felt like we were missing key parts of their relationship. I wanted to see more of their relationship development, but we just got them going from hating one another, to being jealous but not knowing why, to full on love. It was confusing and didn't make any sense. I appreciate the work Killian did on himself to help them as a couple, however, I don't think they're making it past the epilogue.
Speaking of epilogues, I thought the one in this story was okay. It sets up the series for the next book, but it didn't do that great of a job of wrapping up the current story. I don't think it gave us insight into Sylvie and Killian's relationship a year later except that they're happy and spending time together in bed. I would've liked more about their lives together.
I felt confused by the parties at the manor. Not the content of them, but how it connected to Killian and Sylvie outside of the obvious. A lot of attention was placed on a particular person and Killian, but then nothing came from it. It was odd and didn't serve any real purpose.
This isn't plot related, but I didn't like the excessive use of exclamation points. Sara's writing is usually so great and I feel like she's able to get the emotions across without having to use exclamation points. This felt different from her usual style. The overuse of exclamation points really made the characters feel even more immature and childish.
Thank you to Sara for the early copy.
