I always hear that Q.B. Tyler writes the best taboo romances, and PHEW was this one a ride. If you like the guardian / ward or the pseudo father / child tropes, then this one is for you. I loved that we got to see glimpses of Maddie and Cal's past as she grew up with him and the circumstances that brought them together in the first place. The writing was very meh to me, but the plot and characters kept me flipping pages, so much so that I read the book in two sittings; I just didn't want to put it down. I also wasn't a fan of the plot twist near the end - it kind of came out of nowhere in my opinion. But other than that, I had a lot of fun with this one and could have kept reading about Cal and Maddie.

I do also want to mention that Maddie is only 17 throughout most of this book . . . so please keep that in mind before going into this one. There is a bit of an age gap, and she isn't even an adult.
