“You can try to break me

I cut my teeth on people like you

It’s gonna take a lot more to take me down

I’m a step ahead, watch me wearing my crown”

The fourth both in the Club Euphoria series. I was ready to get to Tyler’s book but it was not one of my favorites but it was still a good one. If there’s one thing I love about the club euphoria boys it’s that they will protect their women at all cost. The spice scenes were spicing but what else did I expect from Valentina? Gia did get on my nerves just a bit but Tyler’s protectiveness made up for it. That twist towards the end was not expected, it literally made my jaw drop but I feel like Jenna may have forgotten how she felt about them and forgiven them a little too quickly (?) but that’s just me. Now why did they not let my boy Tyler grief without trash talking Mila? Like I get it, no one wants to see their brother or friend suffer but damn let him breathe, let him keep that loving memory of his wife without telling him that homegirl didn’t love him lol. This was an entertaining read and I recommend the entire series.

This is an Advanced Reader copy. Although this book was given to me as an ARC my thoughts are my own.

This one in the Club Euphoria series was not my vibe. The spice was all about 'until it hurts and bleeds' which was giving punishment instead of pleasure between 2 people, and it just did not sit right with me.

There were also scenes where they talked about not liking someone who passed away in a previous book and how they never liked them, but were super nice in to them in previous books - the insincerity and fake acceptance triggered some past trauma and just rubbed me the wrong way.

Otherwise, I think the writing was good and on par with the previous books in the series, so if these things don't bother you, give it a try.
