For me, this is one of those books that you fall into and lose all sense of time. I got so caught up in the story I had to talk myself out of reading more when I had things to do or places to be. I went in not realising this is the third book of inter-connected romances, but couldn’t put it down once I was in it. I laughed out loud HARD and cackled my way through each chapter. I was a giggling mess, kicking my feet and squealing at the tenderness between Lia and Breaker. I loved this book so much!

The slow burn was done so. damn. well. Friends to lovers isn’t usually a trope I go for, but I adored their friendship. It pulled you right into their relationship, showed off the ease of being themselves with each other and the ridiculously fun banter, making that the focus above anything else. I’d also like to give an honourable mention to the intimate scenes between our two MCs. They were honestly some of the hottest stuff I’ve read. The night after the cake tasting scene? wow.

Lia and Breakers connection is just so intense yet caring, affectionate and considerate, that it pulls you into the story and helps them feel very authentic as both characters and a couple. Big love for this book!
