This was fine. Nothing that special and it had some plot lines I really hated. This is a very short book so the author really has to think about how they're using the time they have. Up until the 40% mark, there was a huge refusal to communicate plot that I really did not like. I feel like that is just such a basic and overused plot point in romance and it's not even a good trope. It makes the people in the relationship seem childish because they won't talk to each other. I think it's fine when characters are worried to share how they how they feel about the other person because that is a scary thing to do, especially if you don't know how that person feels about you. But, if there is no communication and a person is just assuming things, even after they have shown affection, that's what I don't like.

Even though I didn't love this book, I did like all of the side characters and I would love to read Kenny and Colin's story. Of all of the couples in this book, they seemed the most interesting and I loved the little snippets we got of their background.

This book is fine and you'll probably know exactly what kind of story this is going to be from page one so if its what you're feeling at the moment, you might really enjoying. This is just above the length of a novella so it is super easy to just fly through. Like I said, I'll probably read at least one more book in this series and then I'll have to see if there are any more of the books that seem interesting to me.… (meer)

A big fan of the series, but man, I was definitely a bit disappointed with this one. Had I gone in without any expectations, I probably would have enjoyed it more, but I really felt like Connor had been set up as ace in the previous book and with the violence Devlin had suffered, just expected a completely different relationship dynamic. I cannot wrap my head around how someone who had been suffering that much trauma (Devlin) could jump straight into a heavy sex life with no issues with penetration at all. Most of the relationship was so happy-totally-fine that it was like he hadn't experienced anything. Combined with the low attraction Connor'd had previously, I really expected a warmer, less sexual relationship with more comfort and cuddles. And the situation with Connor's family, that had been pushing him to mate previously, was only mentioned briefly in the conclusion.… (meer)
