Thank you to the author and her team for gifting me a copy of this book. 

This was one of my most anticipated books of the year and when I got the email about receiving this copy, I literally screamed. If you don’t believe me, I was on the phone when it happened. 😂

But I knew from the dedication I was going to love this book. Especially because looks-like-he’d-kill-you-is-actually-a-cinnamon-roll, major Swiftie, with “that’s my wife energy” is everything I look for in a man. Oh and he’s rich, so like bonus. 

But I think the thing I love the most was how trust issues were handled in this book. The way that each character handled it and moved to the end point is how I hope I work through them with a partner as well. Adored that there’s no third act break up because it wouldn’t have been right. 

Overall, this series just proves to me time and time again how much I love these characters.

At first, the style was slow and a bit confusing. However, I’m glad I stuck with it as by the end I really enjoyed everything connecting
