I don't have much to say about this. But I did enjoy it. I loved Haeden and Josie together. The tension between them until the moment they get together is amazing. I also like how sweet Haeden is with Josie in the end. They both had their own issues and fears with being each other's mates and I enjoyed seeing them work through those issues together when they decided to give each other an actual chance.

I'm gonna be honest. I can't remember if I finished this book last night or mid day today or... actually that might sound right? I don't even know. I'm genuinely reading these books too quickly to keep up lol but I did like Josie and how she and her mate have both lived hard lives and managed to overcome their miscommunication long enough to realize that they were a good match. Also, wow, two more females? I wonder if they are gonna figure out a way to start tracking down these aliens and stop this trafficking bullshit.
