Around the 50% mark is where things started to go south for me. From the point they get together to almost 75%, pretty much nothing by sx happens. Not to mention all the “sir” being used, just not my cup of tea. There’s no real plot advancement and the more I read the more it really felt like Sloane was just experiencing Stockholm syndrome.
Around 80% is where things went off the rails and became just so unbelievable. I realized I didn’t really care what happened to any of the characters and didn’t feel any true connection between mmc/fmc.
Finally the “epilogue” doesn’t even include the two main characters. It’s basically just a teaser for the next book which I really don’t care about, at least give some future blurb about the main characters.

After reading the first two in this series and the synopsis of the next book, I’m expecting every book to include kidnapping and lots of spanking. This one had too much “yes, sir” from Sloan, who in the audiobook just sounded sarcastic anyway.

First off, the banter between Declan and Sloane is *chefs kiss* and the way that they fight it so hard. I can’t get over the “you’re like cancer. But less fun” line😂
This series is honestly so much better than I was expecting. And while the first isn’t my favorite and it’s not necessary to read this one, it’s definitely best to start there to understand the back story that’s building throughout.
