I don't usually rate books, but this book was incredible, very easy five stars. Preferred Daisy as a character to Magnolia and Christian was the man BJ WISHES he could be.

This is the 2nd book in the Magnolia Parks series, but this time our MC is Daisy.  She's a badass and smart but such an idiot when it comes to love.  Her brother runs the biggest crime gang in London, but she is trying to be a normal college gal. And boy is she complicated as a character. I wanted to strangle her but at the same time adored her relationship with Christian.  And I really felt for all the tragedy she had gone through.  I really liked her thoughts as footnotes in the book, but it's hard to read on Kindle.  Can't wait to go back to Magnolia's POV in the next book!

Jessa Hastings writing is so good! These stories draw you in even when you don’t expect to be drawn in. Unlike some of the reviews I read, I actually preferred Daisy’s story over Magnolia’s. I felt like I was rooting for her to get a happy ending and even though it ended on a slight cliffhanger, I think we got a solid ending to this part of the series. There were a few times I got lost with the switching of characters and where we were in the storyline - especially when I jumped to something I remember happening in Magonlia’s story that wasn’t previously mentioned in Daisy’s story. For this reason, I would definitely say it’s important to read the books in order up to this point.
