Ok so I finished this book a few hours ago and I’m still stuck in the world of Leo and Wren!
This book was a huge anticipated wait for me and boy did it blow me away!
We could already see the chemistry between them in the previous book, but when we get the full story hot damn it’s explosive!
I’ve loved both these guys from the get go and to have so much more of them was amazing.

This was my first book with a certain type of pain play and wow it blew my mind! I was breathless and I wanted more and I still want more!
That was amazing!!!!

And of course the dynamic in the group shifting a little due to Graham and his stubbornness was expected, but thankfully he pulled his head out!

Omg there is so much I could say but I won’t do it justice! I just want more from these guys!!!! Definitely worth the wait and definitely happy it was such a fabulous story!!!!

This book is by far the best book in the series. I just love the age-gap trope and dad's best friend thrown in for good measure.

I don't read many BDSM books; they just don't tickle my fancy. This has the right level for me and I learned something new called Needle Play.

Leo and Wren are very sweet together. Wren is still hurting from his first encounter with a Dom and Leo and Avery are there for him. I loved getting to know the really Leo and he is one kinky sod. They just burn up the sheets together!

I sad this has ended, I'm just glad everyone got their HEA!

This is a light, sweet romance with great characters, main and secondary both. I loved the sense of family and friendship that’s so integral to this series. By the end, you’re left feeling warm and mushy, and quite cheerful, which is pretty good in my book. Wren and Leo did give in rather easily to their mutual attraction, so as strength of character & principles went, that was a tiny let-down for me. Their chemistry was explosive, but I’d have preferred it if the author had allowed the tension to build up more. Their emotional connection was well-written and convincing.

Narration: Greg Boudreaux is a wonderful narrator and I really liked his take on Leo and Wren. He brought a lot of emotion and nuance to his performance, bringing added value to the story.

4 stars. I just love this series so much. It's kinky and sexy and cute and sweet all at the same time. I think this one and the third book are tied as my favorites. This was so good and features a kink that I've never read about so that was fun. Pain kink sounds absolutely terrifying but the way the author wrote those scenes was really well done. They were intense but also still very hot.

Wren and Leo are wonderful characters and I loved the both of them. Their relationship was great and I love that they were open and honest with each other. They talked and figured things out instead of unnecessary drama. They have great chemistry and them exploring things together was just so cute. They brought out the best in each other and I think Leo was the absolute perfect person for Leo and vice versa.

I really hope that there is going to be more books in this series. It was wonderful seeing all of the characters from the other books and the ending was so stinking adorable. I've got my fingers crossed that there will be more to come.
