I haven’t read a lot of books with the ‘I hate everyone but you’ trope but boy I’m about to. The protectiveness Declan felt for Iris was so sweet, and honestly concerning at certain points, but I ate that shit up. Since true romance books are somewhat new to me, there are definitely things that pushed me out of my comfort zone in this book, as well as the first installment of the series. Lauren Asher just writes in a way that makes me comfortable reading romance (and all the things that come with it. wink wink, nudge nudge).
Declan and Iris’s romance was just so freaking good. I also loved the exploration of learning disabilities and familial issues. It felt like these two both worked so hard for the other, and it really was worth it in the end. I can’t wait to read Cal’s story (bc he’s my fave) and see one more - hopefully - happy ending.
