First, I can't believe this was even better than the first and I loved the first book.

Second... WHAT IS WITH THE ENDING?? After finishing this book I set the book down and just.... Gasped like a fish out of water, then I swore a bit, and then I said "what!?" many times, then I think I said WTF and then gasped a few more times... I cannot wait to begin the next book!

OK where to start? The spicy scenes were Hot. I'd give the spice 4 chili peppers 🌶. I enjoyed the story overall. Some of it was cringe but mostly it was good.

 
I felt like the relationship between Rachel and Jake was amazing and he was my favorite. Her relationship with Caleb was great. Her relationship with both of them made sense. However, Mars just didn't fit, didn't flow. It was random. It was too sudden. Her relationship with him in relation to the other two guys felt disjointed. If she had just had Caleb and Jake it would have been a 5 star book imo
