I would first like to thank the author for the eARC opportunity. Like always, this review is voluntary & honest.
Okay, first things first, SAFFRON HAS DONE IT AGAIN. Now listen, this book has all the things we love about Saffron's books, characters & writing. We've got angst, a possessive & obsessed MMC, a lovesick FMC, and the SPICE (oof). If you're wondering if this is similar to her other books, in a way yes, but also completely different. Ledger's character is VERY different from her other previous male characters. Dare I say Ledger's love goes into the dark romance kind of vibes & I was WHOLLY into it. Tempest and Ledger's story was one with longing, passion and DEEP emotions.
Tempest has been in love with Ledger since the first moment she laid eyes on him, and she fell HARD. But she suffered from what she felt was unrequited love, which is the most painful type of love there is. But she didn't let that deter her, she didn't let that stop the deep, you could say obsession, she had with the Angry Thorn. I loved that about her, because I think letting yourself go after what or who you want, and loving wholeheartedly, is something that is so brave because it isn't easy to do. Tempest loved fully & deeply, and she showed that love to those she was most close to. But she also knew when it was time to step back & put herself first. I really wanted to give her a big hug.
Ledger Thorne, the man who has made me a whole new level of feral. I absolutely wanted him to wreck me in half. Ledger has this kind of animalistic side in a way, that I just FELL FOR. Ledger was more than a character who was controlled by his anger & had a "short fuse". The more we got to know him on a deeper level, we saw that he was such a complex character. His short temper & anger went deeper than others saw. Ledger also was one that felt DEEPLY, even if he didn't like showing it. The way he was so loyal to his family, his friends, his firefly, I adored that about him. Now were there things he did that made you go like, "that's a red flag"? Maybe, but honestly red is my favorite color so we LOVE IT.
Ledger and Tempest's story was a wild ride & a passionate one, but that was what kept me hooked the whole time. I also love that we got to see the other Thorne brothers, Reid & Callie as well as our other St. Mary Girls who we love & adore. This book had my attention from beginning to end & I cannot wait for others who read this & are intrigued to read it as well. I am also so excited to read the future book of this series. So, to summarize, I 100% recommend this one. 🩷
