This book…these characters…destroy me. I love them so much it pains me to see them go through the situations they did in this book.
Lo is freshly back from rehab, we get to experience him sober. I really liked seeing Lo and Ryke’s dynamic this book because Ryke is dead set on keeping him sober, he will stop at nothing to make sure he succeeds.
Meanwhile with Lo back Lily now has to put her restraining from sex to practice when he’s right there in front of her. I loved Lily’s therapist Dr. Banning, that woman got it and was just so supportive and understanding, she wasn’t trying to fix Lily she was trying to help her learn why she reacts to sex the way she does and teach her moderation and healthy ways to approach it and she encouraged Lo’s participation (unlike that fuckwad her parents have her go to, lock him the fuck up).
We also had some blackmail going on this book. Someone was threatening to reveal Lily’s sex addiction to the press which was wild and just so wrong. Lily and Lo have so much already going on and then to add that stress on top, it was just a lot. I’m really proud of them though for handling it as well as they did.
There was also some good Connor scenes this book and well as some Rose and Daisy.
