Oh my god, what can I say about this book? The first thing is that I had been waiting for it for over a year, and when I started reading it, I was a bit afraid I wouldn't like it as much as the first one. But I was completely wrong—I loved it even more than the first book. I still adore the characters of Dana and Grizz. However, I would have liked more scenes just between them and maybe to learn more about their relationship from a year ago.
Logan remains my favorite, and I can't wait to read his story, especially if it's with who I think it is.
What I loved about Luna Kayne's novel is that she doesn't focus too much on the romance; it's really in the background. She emphasizes emotions and action more. Dana broke my heart with everything she's been through and continues to endure. Yet, she keeps living and fighting for herself and her loved ones. I'm glad she's found a place she can call home. She can finally be happy and surrounded by the right people.
Even though I really like Grizz, I feel like we still don't know everything about him, and I wish there were more scenes to learn more about him.
I also loved the new secondary characters like Tyler, Kayle, and Dale. They really added a special touch, and I hope to see them appear in future books. I also want to read more about the other members of Cypher.
I would have liked a scene between Jessa and Dana where they discuss what happened a year earlier.
Other than that, the book is just sublime, and once you start, you can't stop. Even though the novel isn't heavily focused on romance, it still delivers a beautiful second chance romance and found family theme.
I just hope I don't have to wait another year for the next one 😅 But if that's the case, it's not too bad.
