Love being petty, love the need for revenge but as soon as Damien was introduced and it was obvious how kind and sweet and genuine he was I immediately felt gross about her plan. It made me feel so uncomfortable, I felt like I was a part of her plan by reading because he doesn't deserve to be part of the plan, to be used as a pawn. Love being petty, I myself am petty but if it hurts other people it isn't petty, it's mean. I wanted her to call off the plan straight away (Iwrote this bit 124 pages in). 

Goddamn! I love that it linked in to the other series (Springbrook Hills) I read by Morgan Elizabeth with Hunter, Autumn, Tony, Luna, Hannah etc! What a nice tie in! Really well done and fits in with them and the like timelines and details and everything and made sense to do that. 

Damien is an angel and didn't deserve to be a pawn in a game and I'm so glad she knew her feelings by that point and realised it was wrong of her from the start. I will say this, this book had be outwardly screaming out in annoyance at how often she could have told him but didn't, I was genuinely so hurt at the thought of him getting hurt which shows there was some damn good writing in it for me to love the character that much. I love him and how honest he was and how much he liked Abbie just for herself and didn't want to change who she was. He helped build up her confidence and let her be who she was. 

I did really like Abbie and I can totally empathise with her and how poorly she was treated by her ex. She deserved to get revenge and to have a good life and her ex deserved all the shit he ended up getting. It was a good example of karma, even if she did help along the karma at some points. I'm glad she managed to see through what he did to her and to not allow him back. 

Overall, the love in this was swoonworthy, Damien was swoonworthy and the spice was great. I was fully invested hoping for a happy ending and for hoping she would tell him the truth and that no one would end up hurt. And a cute epilogue.
