Emily has done it again!
The writing lets me fall into the story and vividly see what is happening so easily.
It didn't take long for me to fall in love with Bear and Silas.
I loved seeing them both fight their inner demons and learn together how to be better.
The slow burn had me gnawing my finger nails, but it was so delicious.
And once the spice hits..... so good!
I hope some of the side characters will get their own stories. I adore Claire and Yumi. I want to know more about Ollie. Jared deserves to get more page time.
I'm so glad I got to read this as an ARC.
Thank you Emily!

one of the best captivating books ive read. the romance was not only there, i could feel it; it was a wholesome experience bc its not always that something I read gives me butterflies and twinges my heart like these words between Bear and Silas.
Their dynamic.. 💯 im so serious, if men were like bear… wowowowowow world domination, we would be SALIVATING lmao, and the way he begs??? Bear, you have won my heart ❤️ they way he cares for Silas, the way he protects him, the way he puts his needs before his own… 😳
this book was perfection, the spicy scenes were giving spice, and, i repeat, the begging?!!! I LOVE WHEN ALPHA MALES BEG? LIKE YES, SAY PLEASE AND BEG ME TO KISS U IDC 😂
i liked that they didnt go the typical “bad guy kidnaps omega and alpha needs to go rescue him” so it was a refresher to see a third act where the villains DONT kidnap, they always seem to kidnap 💀

If needed a touch more spice for me personally, which took it down from 5 stars. But the atmosphere, the characters, and their love story had me hooked from the beginning. I read 75% of this in one sitting and then finished the book as soon as I woke up the next day.
