I love this book. I think about this book constantly. Declan’s realization that he is in love with Iris and him doing EVERYTHING to get her despite them already being married. Magnificent. Beautiful. He gave Iris a house WITH a greenhouse all because she loves plants. He took care of a succulent Iris GAVE TO HIM all because it was his first gift. He changed is company font all so she can be able to read the documents all due to her dyslexia. The one thing I didn’t like was him sabotaging Iris’s future all cause he didn’t want her to leave him. Execution wasn’t good but reasoning was cute. I didn’t like the fact that Iris ran away and didn’t want to talk to Declan after what happened with Dreamland Japan but I did love seeing Declan try to get her to talk to him even locking his brother, Cal, out. The third act breakup was done better in this book compared to the first one cause Rowan was being an ass and with this one it makes sense why she felt sad from how Declan blamed her for his father butchering their plans with Mr. Tanaka but when he showed the house and the dog he bought for her, I forgave him.

The sex scenes were blush worthy. The things Declan said and did made me double check my door in case anyone walked in. Declan seemed more into it compared to Rowan. To me it felt like Rowan did it with Zahra only because they had sexual tension while Declan also had tension with Iris it wasn’t out of horny-ness but out of need to be with her if that makes sense and I love that.

I would recommend this one over the first one if it weren’t for the fact that you need to read Rowan’s story to be able to understand the will of Brandy and the backstories were explained in more detail in that book. But I loved this one more. Now onto Callahan’s story.
