Two of Meghan’s best friends have found their HEAs with a couple of sweet, doting, head-over-heels-in-love ice hockey players. But whilst her friends got endearments like Kitten and Sugar, she can't seem to get away from an alpha-hole of a man who likes to rile her up and calls her Banshee. Sebastian makes Meghan feel hot and bothered with his dreamy voice and his adonis-like looks, and when he presses her buttons, he presses all of them, getting under her skin in a way that no man ever has. But when one of Meghan’s friend’s gets hurt whilst she’s distracted with Sebastian, she can’t stop blaming herself—and him. 

I liked FMC Meghan and MMC Sebastian individually. Meghan especially has provided some of the best lines in the three books of the series so far with her sass and attitude, and Sebastian’s playfulness made for some laugh-out-loud fun. The sexual tension between Meghan and Sebastian was delicious, but I admit that the repeated miscommunication/lack of communication killed the chemistry a few too many times. I’m generally okay with and was in fact expecting a third act break-up at some stage, given the structure of the previous novels in the series, but this one did miss the mark for me. The reasoning for it was weak at best, so the emotional force fell flat. However, it was resolved suitably quickly for a sweet and lighthearted HEA.
