4.0

I enjoyed the second installment, but not as much as the first. I know these books aren’t that series, but Landry kept making dumb decisions that put her and her sister in danger. I still really enjoyed the romance and I liked her with all the guys. I enjoyed seeing the guys and Della together, it was cute. This is on the darker side. There was a part that was actually really disturbing so trigger warning for Child abuse, sexual assault, pedophilia, and a child having a miscarriage.

This one gets a lot darker than the first. You learn more about Landry and it’s just sad. But overall it’s a book about triplets and a young woman and lots of sex haha.

2.0

I don't have much to add after my review on the first book of the duology. The lines between the two books were blurred, so I have no memory of the parts were the first book ended and the second continued on.
 
One thing I do remember is the horrific past that we got to uncover - Alexander Croft was a fucked up man, nothing else is needed to be said. Bless those girls, they need copious amounts of therapy.

Also, what the fuck Sandra? She really had all he evidence to back up all the abuse that Landry and Della had to survive and suffer under and she chose to come clean when thing were pretty much solved anyway??

P.S - This book will be triggering to many people, so I highly suggest you look up content and trigger warnings, because this book has a variety of those!

3.75

3.75! Even though I like the overall duet. The latter half of this book was very unbelievable. There are some very shocking moments especially with the big reveal at the beginning! Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the boys! They seem like a fun time, 😛! I wouldn’t mind reading a follow up on the latter years of their lives, but I’m also fine with how this ended! Also screw her father…and Ash while we are at it 😆
