I think this is my favourite in the series so far. I loved the characters, loved the dynamics, loved the story. Can’t wait to read more about Nadia as I really liked the introduction of her in this book!

Wow, this book is my favorite in the series! I loved Mira and Stefan’s story. They had great banter and chemistry from the start that made their journey to friendship and more through a little fake dating deal all the more satisfying. Stefan was so misunderstood, I truly enjoyed his POV- the pining!! Mira was a badass and I loved how strong she was. This book was a great balance of emotions, romcom banter, and spice. I absolutely would recommend this book, a must read!

Never did I think I would want a book for Stefan Dalca. He seemed like a slime ball in the first couple of books. I loved seeing a different side of him with vet Mira. He grew on me in the best way. I also loved getting to know the serious vet. Their chemistry was fantastic. They both had complicated families. I loved how that was worked into the story, especially with Stefan's sister. The only thing I didn't love about this book was the way Billie (from the first book) came across. She got better toward the end, but it made me sad because I loved her in the first couple of books.
