Jasper and Eloise are definitely contenders for my favorite Eden couple! Their banter and genuine respect for one another is so sweet! I thought the book was so well done and I can't wait to read glimpses of them in the last two books. My one issue was the unnecessary weird relationship with the ex. He definitely only needed the parents for the plot line to work.

She was supposed to erase the past. She was supposed to be a beautiful picture over an ugly drawing. 

I was afraid that I’d miss him for the rest of my life. 

How many people had told Jasper they loved him? Not enough.

Good addition to the series. Both Eloise and jasper did a lot of growing up in this, it was nice to be able to watch. I’m glad that the move from “fake” marriage to “you’re my wife” was not painful like it is with the trope sometimes. I honestly would have really liked a little more depth with the conflict with blaze at the end, it felt rushed. I also think that the relationship between jasper and Eloise’s parents could have been explored a little more, I would have killed for a sexy protective husband scene where jasper really stands up to Harrison for Eloise and Harrison realizes the error of his ways haha. Overall really cute and sweet, first 2/3 were almost perfect, last 1/3 just felt a little rushed. Can’t wait to read the next installment
