I didn’t give two shits about this couple so imagine my surprise when I absolutely loved everything about this book and stayed up all night to read it. Two 5 star books in a row? I don’t even recognize myself

i’m glad we finally got to their story. i understand the ordering but i do kind of hate that we had to wait until book 4 to have all Dash questions answered, but i do like how they were all there and sprinkled in.

i also liked the action. no spoilers , but i was literally saying “no oh my god no!” out loud while reading.

the ending leaving off on a cliffhanger-ish moment is great but frustrating!

minor gripe: you can’t tattoo one-handed!!! i work in the tattoo industry so that part was just aggravating to me instead of being sexy haha.

This series unfortunately has me in a chokehold. I love Lex so much and was so excited to get to his story. He’s a sweet boy. Ren pissed me the hell off but I know he was supposed to. I hate the cheating trope but this one was a bit more understandable than most.. lol. I can’t wait to see what crazy shit happens in the next book and how this series ends up. I hope they all get off that damn island and live in a happy gay paradise in Mexico.

This is definitely my favorite in the series so far, because one, I think the story and the plot comes full circle here and we finally get full clarity on everything we've been wondering and two, I love Ren and Luth soooo much! 
Their story was so much more wholesome and adorable and totally not the direction I was expecting it to go but I loved it. Spice was fantastic, as always. 
I love that the plot does move on to things after Dash's escape, which makes me very excited for the finale.

Small little nitpicky things I was bothered by, otherwise I would have rated this even higher but overall,  a fantastic time!

This was my favorite Alabaster Pen story by far. I just love Lex and Ren. The time jumps were fun and the story was exciting. Things are escalating at the prison and I can't wait to see what happens to the rest of our friends. 3/5 spice levels.

Ren and Lex

We finally have Ren and Lex’s story and MAN it was a hard won HEA. We knew it would be though, since we got glimpses into their situationship from the last 3 books. It definitely hurts more to experience it with them I think, but it makes it so much better when they get their HEA at the end because you were along for the ride. Things get pretty dicey towards the end, and while I definitely was NOT looking forward to reading the Ivory’s story prior to this book, I can safely say I am now. Is it 2024 yet?
