Ok this is the second book in the duo and honestly I liked this book a lot more then the first one so Im not sure if it was the fact that I’ve gotten used to seeing Hunter and Briar together or if its the fact that she finally gets rid of her rapist and how strong and brave and smart she was in that scene like she kept a level head and then told him what he wanted to hear to get him to untie her only for her to knee him and then stab him like wow 🤯🥺🥲 made me cry happy tears I was just so proud of Briar and how far she’s come . I did also like how we got more of a backstory on the kings but I was not a fan with the finally and how they ended it like they all lived different lives and she just rotated with the guys like why don’t they all live in one big house together like the family they are. It just wasn’t a very satisfying ending in terms of epilogue in terms of how Briar finished her story with her rapist it was perfection. She was such a baddie as ive already stated . So plot wise other then then briars backstory plot line I wasn’t a big fan but the spice was definitely there so if you want a quick read with mostly spice and some plot this is the book for you.

Call me old fashioned, but I just find it really hard to believe these kids in high school are fucking like porn stars. Also, who has anal—multiple times—on a camping trip?? Without condoms??
The climax felt anti-climatic, especially when it was obvious it was coming. All of that lead up, and then it was over in a blink.
There was also a ton of repetition in here—repeated words, phrases, and general thoughts. Enough that it pulled me out of the story.
Finally, wtf was that epilogue??? This is supposed to be a HAREM. Not four separate relationships. That was so disappointing and soured their entire relationship and thus the series.
