I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book as I tend to find 'Why Choose?' novels are a bit hit or miss. I really, really enjoyed this story though. It was incredibly well paced, and there wasn't any part where I felt like the story was losing its momentum. I liked the characters well enough, although it took me much longer than I care to admit to distinguish the three guys from one another.

I did feel that this was more like a prequel story, as there are still so many threads that need to be unravelled. I also cannot take the word 'engorged' seriously. It reminds me of that scene in '10 Things I Hate About You' and it really threw me off my game - BUT that's just personal preference.

4.5

• i really enjoyed this one, MK was feisty as hell (yes occasionally petty but I'll allow it all things considered)
• i adore kody and steele so much, i don't know how she controlled herself the entire time i'd say screw the anger if it was me
• i still need to warm up to archer, he's still a bit too alpha for me and not in a good way, he needs to tone down the 'go to your room' stuff cos it's giving me too much dad and not enough daddy
• i feel like a bit more could have happened but at the same time, i enjoyed the set up of them getting to know each other
• idk it's just the vibes innit?
• i also didn't like that they called her by her full name, madison kate is such a mouthful, feels like she's just being scolded by her parents the whole time
• i'm so intrigued by the gang war
• mostly just hot as hell isn't it
