* Thank you to Social Butterfly PR and the author for giving me an arc of this book. *


I’m reading this series backwards so I’ve read the last 3 books and now I’m reading the rest and I must say that in the last book of the series I was worried with Michael and Karma’s relationship cause Karma is making a questionable move since Serb’s book. With that said, I have been liking a lot when they appear in the other books and that’s why I’m reading their story now.

Part one was very enjoyable although I was on the fence about Michael cause he had his moments but he also made/ said a lot of questionable things. Obviously we only get a bit of pieces of information of him so I’m definitely intrigued in how this whole relationship is gonna work out.
Karma is funny as her sister Summer was to me because of the whole filme quotes and stuff and I liked that. She’s also very headstrong as Michael is so they tongue lash each other every time. She’s also very fiery and that almost never works for her cause their chemistry is definitely there working overtime.
I’m still not really sold on what’s happening but the way this ended got me excited for more and thank god the next book is available now.

Part two- Michael is changing little by little. I wasn’t expecting this elaborate plan that he orchestrated but I also knew he was out there ready to pounce. I didn’t believe Luca and already read his book but this situation he’s in is still giving me anxiety.
Michael is very alpha in this one and that really shows through the story. That’s to say that I love an alpha but to me he sometimes can be over the top but all of his possessive has a reason so I get it but I’m also like “get your act together and act a bit normal” but alas, what can I do? I’m still buying into all of his feelings and I’m loving him so there’s that.
Karma on the other hand I’m not really sure what to feel about her at the moment. She has every right to be mad about certain things but she can also get on my nerves with her stubbornness and her unwillingness to accept her feelings and what Michael wants to give her. Now granted, Michael doesn’t even know to express feelings and whenever he tries, I just wanna smack my head cause it’s that painful but I’m confident they will get better at communicating. I already saw improvement but more on a superficial level so I’m very intrigued to what’s next and how they finally cement their relationship.
The damn cliffhanger tho? I honestly pity the readers that had to wait for the third book in this series. It must’ve been painful and I’m over the moon with the fact that I’m reading it now that they’re out and I can binge them.

Part three- this was a good conclusion of the trilogy. The damn cat, Andy, is so adorable. He’s my favorite
