Now this one I loved!

It was amazing! The depth of the characters (not to mention everyone is lovely), the gut-wrenching darkness behind their stories, the beauty of finding the light within each other... Wow

I can't even form coherent thoughts yet. It's going to take me a minute.

I mean, I already loved the characters, but as a couple they're even better.

The smut was fucking amazing (and, let's take a moment to appreciate how refreshing it was to not have a virgin FMC again), the romance on point and the plot just... chef's kiss.

And the cameos of the other couples made me giggle all around, though I missed Astrid and Levi but Xander and Kimmy are a beauty. And then there's Cole, I see you honey, don't you think I don't, I'm coming for you next.


PS: Fuck pedophiles.



PS2: Lars, the man you are. I've only known you for a few days but if anything ever happened to you I would kill everybody involved and then myself.




PS3: I was kinda sad that this one didn't have a bonus scene from Ronan's POV, but honestly, it doesn't even need it. Then again, none of the other ones did either and they where pretty mediocre anyway. Plus, I usually hate the bonus scenes because why can't they just save me the hassle and include it in the book in the first place. But I'm always down for a few more words about these two.

just to preface, this book has a lot of triggering content so make extra sure you're okay with reading this before you pick it up. ronan and teal were definitely more interesting and likeable as characters but i don't like the way their trauma was written. it felt like a cheap prop and attempt at using shock value to keep readers interested and i wish sensitive topics like these were given more effort + respect. the pacing of this book was odd too, again it was riddled with spelling/grammar mistakes, but it might just be because it's on the shorter side so it felt rushed. i did enjoy this more than all the other books in this series though.

So, I only went into this one with a bit of hope. I was thrilled to finally get to Ronan's book because he was one of my favorites in this universe, but on the other hand, I didn't care much for Teal. But to be fair, I didn't get attached to her like Ronan. She's a relatively new character to this universe, and we haven't gotten to know her much. We know she's Elsa's stepsister, Knox's twin, and aloof. If anything, she has more in common with Cole than anyone else in this group. But she also is the one who volunteered to be in this arrangement and had some ulterior motives going on that we don't find out until this book. I ended up loving Teal and loved seeing how these two clashed together. I really hate that we aren't going to see Remi get his own book because Remi reminds me so much of Ronan. The whole charade Ronan was putting on was because of the trauma he was dealing with, so it leaves me questioning what Remi is hiding. Anyway, I loved this one, and it's either my favorite of this series or tied with Twisted Kingdom. I couldn't get enough of this one!

Wow, okay. 

I did not expect this level of dark themes. But the way Rina delivers the healing in the epilogues 😭🥹

OMG I had a feeling in my gut Ronan and Teal would be my favs and I was correct!! 

I was so excited for Ronans book and I couldn’t be more happy with what I got. He has been a shining star through the series and he did not disappoint once you got into his mind. 
Teal was also amazing in this book and she was so great to read from. Being able to see how her mind worked was really fascinating and I also enjoyed seeing her bond with Elsa. 
Overall it was a joy to read their story and see them grow from their trauma and love each other!
