This is one of my all-time favorite why-choose romances. I love the dynamic between these three. I also like that it's not your typical ex-military and ex-husband trope. I feel like typically the FMC is kidnapped by the ex-husband and the ex-military main character has to rescue her. I LOVE that that isn't the case here. I like that Marco, the dom, shows his sensitive side in multiple ways from his PTSD to taking care of Jay and Cora. I love how inclusive this book is as well, from different cultures, backgrounds, gender/identity, sexuality and much more! I also appreciate the FMC being heavier set and it not being her hole identity in the book. Overall, there are tons of things done perfectly in this book... I HATE that it ended on a cliffhanger and I'm impatient. Also... The SPICE in this book is top fucking tier.

Authors note was gross, basically "trigger warnings are spoilers, you can read them but it will spoil the plot." The trigger warnings are VERY prominent in the plot.
