I've gotta admit, I started reading from chapter 15, the first spicy scene.

I'm not really into slow-burns and reading over 200 pages of fluff wasn't really my deal, I would've DNF'ed.

Other than that, the second half of the book honestly could be a stand-alone, I didn't feel like I missed anything in the plot. It's very fast-paced after she breaks up with her fiancè.

The characters are painfully millenial. Painfully. They're so cringy and 🤪 quirky 🤪 that I almost DNF'ed multiple times.

Spice is excellent.

He's mostly dominant but lets her on top once. She enjoys the dominance. The sex is very emotional and heartfelt. There's about 6 smut scenes.

If you're into fast-paced smut, I'd start reading from chapter 14. If you're into slow-burns, I'd start reading from the beginning.

OKAY. I literally inhaled this. I'm obsessed with friends to lovers, and this slowburn was legitimately incredible. I thought the characters were quirky and funny, there was such good banter, and there were DEFINITELY some LINES. I cannot believe we were blessed with duo POV on this. And the realization scene that Breaker had was PERFECT.

I will say that the drama drove this book. And around 75% of the way through the book, the conflict drops off and it becomes literally just fluff. Listen. I love fluff as much as the next person, but I wanted just a TAD more angst before we came to the loveliness of the HEA/epilogue. Overall, though, this book delivered on exactly what I wanted. The backdrop of Lia getting married to someone else just added. A+ work.

“You’re in love with your best friend, and you just finally realized it.”

I started this series bcs I was told it was good, which I totally agree with I really enjoyed this series. But I was also told this would be the best book, which I don't fully agree with.

Smut wise this is phenomenal. Definitely better than the other two books. Breaker is definitely the kinkier cane brother.
🌶🌶🌶🌶/5

“Your pussy deserves to be tongued, consumed, and fucked so hard that you can’t walk the next day.”

“My cock is fucking perfect for your deliciously tight cunt.”

The tension was real to say the least. But and this would have been important to me bcs I would've liked if besides all the good things you can say about this book, I wish someone would have said this to me.

This book feelt way longer than the other two content wise. For me personally the beginning of the book felt quite boring at times which is why I actually had thoughts abt dnfing. I wish someone on tt, which is where I found the book, had posted the chapter of when the tension starts to build up. So that I could have skipped a few chapters. Bcs I didn't find that I read all the chapters and will write them down for you if you're interested ⬇️.

Besides that Breaker is also quite the romantic. So the book had also a lot of fluff which I enjoyed.

I want to always be with you.
Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, will be better than you.
You’re my forever.

Now about the chapters ⬇️

The wedding dress scene in Chapter 10, is where he realizes his feelings, this was the chapter which made it clear for me I would regret dnfing.

Now this are the chapters in which you'll find tension and spice 🌶👀.
Chapters 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21[ two scenes], 22.
Personly, lookin back I wouldn't recommend skipping after ch.10 bcs the ball starts rolling from there. Have fun! 🌶

What I didn't like about the book ⬇️

Like I said above, Personly, the book felt quite long to read, especially in the beginning. This is my second time reading a book with 'nerdy' MCs, the first being the love hypothesis. I'm still unsure if I'm a fan of it or not.

But what I learned reading this book is that I don't enjoy it that much if I don't understand much of it, which I believe is a given for most people. In the beginning it goes quite a bit in depth about their 'nerdiness', it felt a bit much to me.

Also just before the end Lia lies to Breaker about meeting her ex fiance for closure on her past relationship with him. I felt like the lie was unnecessary and made me quite annoyed bcs I have trust issues lol. She definitely lost a few points in my book after that. It wasn't written down as lying in the book but I definitely perceived it in that way.

Lia was also quite blind to all the numerous red flags her fiance at the time, waved in front of her face. But ig it made sense at the end.

Anyway overall I liked the book that's what matters right😌.

So this book includes ⬇️
Friends to lovers ✔️
Getting married in 5 weeks ✔️
Talk about insecurities ✔️
Possessive mmc ✔️
He falls first ✔️
OW before the mmc realizes his feelings ✔️

Lia was inevitable—some might say . . . a long time coming?

Enjoy!

Lia and Breaker met in college and bonded over all things nerdy. They have been besties for years, even getting apartments next to each other. Lia is now engaged and Breaker, her man of honor, accompanies her to all wedding appointments to help her deal with her awful MIL to be. One moments changes things and now Breaker needs to find a way to deal with these new feelings he is having.

We just talk about Breaker for a moment? He is by far the superior Cane brother. My GOD! He is a golden retriever - supportive, funny, caring. But then this whole other alpha side comes out ...! He is truly devoted to Lia, even before he realizes his feelings for her. He knows everything about her because he actually pays attention. He wants nothing more than for her to be happy and does everything he can to make that happen.

Lia values her friendship with Breaker more than anything, but she has only ever seen him as a friend. When she gets engaged she feels like something is holding her back from being happy and she can't figure out what it is. That is until she starts seeing another side of Breaker and what she is truly missing in her romantic relationship.

Lia and Breaker are just so perfect for each other. She is so worried that they will ruin their friendship, but Breaker is so I'm love with her that he will do anything to prove to her that they should be together. He worships her and treats her unlike any other man has. They have so much chemistry both emotionally and physically.

I love that Lia has been taken in by Kelsey, Myla, and Lottie. They help her open her eyes and see what she missing. They give her the female support and friendship that she has been craving.

I LOVE that we get to see so much of the other characters in this series. I love seeing how the 3 relationships have grown, especially seeing how much Huxley has changed and softened.

Tropes: friends to lovers, billionaire
