Lily Gold doesn’t miss!!! A strong, smart, caring FMC who is realistic in her level of self awareness and a cast of MMC who are less stereotypical than some of Gold’s others. A full plot and good character motivations, just a treat from start to finish.

Leuke afwisseling tussen romantiek en spanning. Al zijn boeken waar er meer spicy scenes dan verhaal in voorkomen, denk toch niet zo mijn ding (meer). Ik heb die scenes veel overgeslagen. 

Het plot waarvoor de bodyguards ingehuurd waren was wel erg spannend en waren de karakters allemaal heel boeiend.

-spoilers-

Super dat er zo casual over poly relaties geschreven kan worden. En denk ook zeker belangrijk voor die community dat er dit soort boeken beschikbaar zijn. Wel is het voor mij duidelijk dat dit niet mijn ding is, ik had toch moeite met de liefdesverklaringen en hoe Briar er maar gewoon vanuit ging dat ze alle 3 tegelijk wilden daten.

Yeah I didn’t love this one for Matt alone. He was annoying and overbearing in the worst way. He had a sad backstory I guess, but the way he spoke to the main character, Briar, was a no for me. He just gave the ick so quick with the way he thinks and speaks which sucks cause I did enjoy the other two guys, Kenta and Glen. 
I mean the scenes were written fine I just couldn’t get over my dislike for Matt. 

Crying score: I would cry if a men ever spoke to me the way Matt did out of pure anger.
