I LOVED reading Diana and Shane’s story. Watching Shane’s character development was very touching. In a lot of ways I see myself in Diana so maybe that’s why I loved it so much. My only reason for not giving it 5 ⭐️ is because of the ending.

I love how Kennedy wrapped up the Percy plot line and how Diana finally gets the help she deserves, and the death of Shane’s dad crushed me because of how crushed he was. The last scene of Shane and his father together when they were talking about all the things Ryan is going to miss and how Shane is going to accomplish his dreams was touching. I thought the book wrapped up too quickly after his father died and after the incident that winds Diana up in the hospital. I would’ve liked to see either an epilogue or another chapter or two that shows Diana and Shane settling back into some normalcy, Shane making his NHL debut, etc..

But other wise, I ADORED this book.

The spice/kink level in this series is high for me and would not be everyone’s cup of tea. That being said, Shane and Diana’s relationship development in this book is well-paced and a lot of important life lessons and topics are covered, including

physical abuse of a past partner, processing and reporting that abuse, as well as the fear, anxiety, and mental health consequences that result. In addition, processing a cancer diagnosis and death of a parent.

These important and challenging life themes and situations and how the characters dealt with and supported each other through these situations really made this book shine. The HOA neighbors and amateur ballroom dance competition added some nice color and fun to this story as well.
