Absolutely amazing redemption story! A story that tugs on your heartstrings something fierce. Rhys is just the most fascinating character. I loved him so much! He was already plenty of intriguing in the previous book, and learning more about him and seeing his softer side was just incredible. I love the juxtaposition of his outwardly cold and arrogant demeanor and his hidden insecurities and desire for love. I was so charmed by Rhys and Beckett’s dynamic and their unique courtship, so to speak. Beckett’s a really special guy and easy to love. There’s a big dark cloud, seemingly inescapable, that looms over their future, and things get really tense and heartbreaking when Rhys seems to have run out of options to secure their happiness. What a rollercoaster of emotions, this story! One of the things that also really touched me and this an even more engrossing read were the storylines revolving around the secondary characters—everything comes together in the best way.
