This was my favorite of the series and I’ve really loved the first 3 books! There was just something about Nadia and Griffin that had me up into the wee hours reading their love store. Perhaps it was their first meeting or the rescue horse, Cowboy, or the fact that their love was so deep they knew the best way to love one another (spoiler alert!) was to let the other go. I was in tears but in the best way possible. I’d read 3 more books just from Nadia and Griffin’s perspective. 
Definitely recommend!

Ok I take it all back. Griffin is a better MMC than Stefan to me. I LOVED how these two helped each other and also let each other do what they need to heal. So so good! Elsie Silver can do no wrong!

I had no expectations with this book, normally I don’t like age gap romances, but this one??? it was done so well and so beautifully that I couldn’t stop reading and obsessing over these characters.

Griffin and Nadia both have tough pasts and they find in each other a person who really sees them and loves them for who they are.

Their relationship is incredible and i love that they were mature enough to see that maybe that was not the perfect timing for them, but their love for each other was more important, and they waited for each other while they worked on themselves.

A quick and easy read with a simple love/lust story, even with the age gap.
The story went from 0 to 100 then back to 0 fast, with a lot of gaps of nothing to quick hit of everything. My only issue.

It was alright. Took me a long time to read. They were both just meh characters. Liked them and all but all their inner drama was a bit much. The ending was super cute with the notes and the rescue. But overall it was my least favorite for a few reasons.
