He’s the temptation she can’t resist, she’s the danger he didn’t see coming.

Breeze Nightingale is sharp tongued, fearless and plays by her own rules, when Denver Sterling enters her world with allure and effortless charm, she’s caught in a game she cannot resist.

Breeze is a firecracker! She doesn’t care who she offends and i loved every part off her character. Dancer by trade and also deeply protective of those around her, Denver may be a man of wealth, charm and power but Breeze has him on his knees.

This was well written with very in depth characters, their backstories are very well written, the only slight issue i had with this read was that it could be very repetitive and drawn out and a little wordy in places. I personally feel this book could have been condensed. That being said i liked the characters and their dynamic, their power imbalance and how feisty the FMC was.

Tropes:
enemies to lovers
Slow burn
Secret Society
Stalker X obsessed
Tourtured hero & Feisty heroine
Power imbalance

while I felt this book was drawn out in places, it was really good. I think my formatting on my kindle might have been off as several pages were just a few lines and in the middle of the chapter. Breeze is a fireball! stripper by trade she's also deeply concentrating on the family that tore her world apart. Denver may be a man with wealth and power, but he's nothing against the likes of Breeze.

Would give 4.5 if allowed! It was very well written with in depth characters. Great story line, some parts seemed a tiny bit too elaborated (if thats something you tend to notice) however it was truly a great read!

This series does pull you in. It does feel drawn out more so in this one then the others but that didn't change that I loved it.

While it’s a longer book and a bit wordy in places, I honestly really enjoyed it. The characters are fantastic and draw you right into their journey. Breeze and Denver’s story pulled me right in, and I can’t wait to read more from this author. I’m definitely excited to read more from this author!
