I didn’t love nor hate this book it was a good read the intimate scenes in here were very😩i don't really know what to say with this book it’s spicy with a happy ending and no cliffhangers it has no cheating and no love triangles some of the tropes are Second Chance Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Arranged Marriage and many more overall i rated this book a 3 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️ and now I’m gonna start the next one

4.5

this had me feeling ALL the emotions. i swear summer put my heart through it every chapter and literally up until the end. i, naively, thought everything was okay, but NOPE she got me in the last chapter. this is my favorite book of the series so far because FINN?!?! man he pissed me off a lot in this, but i also was just so in love with him. also EFFIE!?!?! i am on my knees for that woman. the scene in the strip club in his office?? iykyk but that solidified my love for her. this is a DARK romance, so pls be mindful of the content warnings for the entire series!!

This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2023 and I absolutely love it. !! It had all the same vibes as Make Me, but Finn and Effie were so different as a couple I was SWOONING. One of my favorite parts dual pov romance is getting to see the mutual internal pining and !!! there is so much. The tension was delicious. I loved Effie and Finn so much. I already can’t wait to read it again.
