I loved this book so much. I was a little bored at first, but I kept going because I've heard Rhys Larsen on TikTok several times; and OMG TikTok was not wrong in their obsession. I squealed so much with this book and I absolutely loved it! I can't wait to continue the series.

I loved the book and I loved the story line however I did find it pretty repetitive throughout the book. I did love the pop ups of the other characters as well like Alex and Ava

My dream trope, that for some reason I've read almost nothing about, delivered perfectly. 
It's weird because Alex was more intriguing for me, but I loved Rhys more, in a squishy-heart kind of way. The smut was also hotter in the previous book, but somehow better here. I don't know, I guess it depends on your taste. And for me, the praise kink is it.
The time jumps were actually pretty great. The whole relationship development felt realistic and I just love these guys together.
Even though I'm not used to the reverse power dynamic, I loved reading this couple, with a complete opposite vibe as the previous one.
Can't wait for the next one.
