Oh, man, this one had ALL the feels! My heart ached for Jasper, and Sloane totally resonated with me. And their chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS. I’m deeply invested in the chariot this series. I know the next book is Winter & Theo, but I really hope she writes one for Beau, too.

One of my favourite tropes done wonderfully here! I loved these characters together and specifically how amazing Sloane was with Jasper’s PTSD. It’s not mentioned as being that but the dude has a serious case of post trauma stress disorder. 

Sloane is a people pleaser and clearly lives to make her dad happy even if it makes her miserable. It doesn’t seem like an uncommon theme with wealthy characters. Jasper is struggling with his past trauma but is always there for Sloane. The difference between him and her ex is huge. Their chemistry is so good it’s hard to see how they didn’t get together years before but the reasons are revealed slowly and they make sense. One thing though I reached a point where the distinction between their sizes made me roll my eyes, we get it he’s big and she’s tiny and easy to maneuver! I will say though big guy Jasper has some surprises for Sloane and I didn’t hate them 😅

As with the other books the the family is very involved and I loved how they interacted. How the Eaton’s brought Jasper into their family was beautiful and his relationships with the brothers and Harvey is one of my favourite things in the series.

I did find the drama with Sloane’s dad and ex to be a bit much. Very cartoon villain, as I’ve said it’s not an uncommon take on the rich dad thing but I’ve seen it done better. It’s probably the one thing I’d change. Just tone it done a bit.

I’ve enjoyed the consistency with this series. I know what I’m getting, fast developing relationships (in terms of overall timeline), steam, and some depth and I appreciate it!
