As someone who usually loves Devney Perry’s book this one was a let down for me. Really couldn’t stand Nick as a character, there were too many different plots going on at once, yet also so much filler. I just really struggled to care about the characters, the dialogue between characters also felt very off. Hesitant to continue the series after this one.

Being with Nick made me feel free. His confidence and easy grace were contagious. I could just be myself. Do whatever I wanted. Say whatever I wanted. This Emmeline was relaxed. Happy.
“You asked me back then if I believed in fate. I didn’t until I met you. And I’ve spent nine years thinking I’d never see your face again. But fate brought you back into my life and I’m not going to mess it up again.”
Without hesitation, he had defended me to the one person who had always made me feel like I was less.
“I’d do just about anything to see that look on your face every day.”
