Deducting half a star for the excessive use of chuckles. 126 times in 300 some-odd pages is insane.

I think this is the longest I've ever had to wait for a sequel (12 years!!), and I was worried that it would be a letdown after all that anticipation, especially since I loved the first book so much. I'm relieved to have been wrong! This was so well written and delved so deeply into both Cai and Riley's psyches, showing how both affected their relationship. The plot kept me hooked the whole way through, and by the end, I felt like I knew them both intimately. There was a healthy mix of gut wrenching emotional pain, light-hearted moments that had me giggling, suspense, sweet romance, and heat. I really hope I don't have to wait so long for Julian and Dare's book!

My favorite of all the books in this series so far. The hurt/comfort balance was just right, and while I usually get annoyed with excessive sap, it didn't bother me with these guys.

DNF @ 85%

First part was 3 stars but it's gone downhill from there. If I have to force myself to finish, I'd probably give it 1 star so I'm going ahead and throwing in the towel now. I'm honestly too bored to finish, and it's steadily gotten more and more cringy and OTT.

Elementary writing, WAY too rushed.

Not badly written, but it didn't really hold my interest through most of it.

I gotta hand it to Odessa Hywell; she knows how to write a really fucked up story that's not at all believable, but is scorching hot. I do wonder about the gaping plot hole in this one.
