˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗

There were so many iconic lines from this book.  It was an entertaining read, it was funny, angsty, and spicy.  The characters had depth to their personalities and while the plot wasn’t what I was expecting it kept my interest.

There were a few parts that made me question how this book was going to end before grabbing the good old plot twists.  The reveal to Rhys dad was not expected but was a nice plot twist.

I loved the book and I loved the story line however I did find it pretty repetitive throughout the book. I did love the pop ups of the other characters as well like Alex and Ava

My dream trope, that for some reason I've read almost nothing about, delivered perfectly. 
It's weird because Alex was more intriguing for me, but I loved Rhys more, in a squishy-heart kind of way. The smut was also hotter in the previous book, but somehow better here. I don't know, I guess it depends on your taste. And for me, the praise kink is it.
The time jumps were actually pretty great. The whole relationship development felt realistic and I just love these guys together.
Even though I'm not used to the reverse power dynamic, I loved reading this couple, with a complete opposite vibe as the previous one.
Can't wait for the next one.

I almost dnfed this one, but I kept going! 2 strikes... first strike for me part 1 was to long, not necassary at all. Strike two was the 'blackmailing thing of them f*.'

Tik tok has spoiled me the heck out of this books so I knew what the storyline was about ... So I know the charachters are in the same bloodline. Still found that weird. Also I don't find this man attractive. In one chapter he depends her to take her clothes of and she is unsure... give me the ick...

Forbidden lovers. It took awhile for the spice to develop but once it did, it was pretty good. I liked this book but I knew where it was going from about page 100. The ending, while predictable, did make me happy.
