This was an easier read than the previous series that lead this book. (I loved those) ❤️ It flowed like a meandering river and never let go, it was hard to put down. The dynamics between Ry and Allie were 🤌 💋 🫶. Their banter was delicious. 😋 The burn sizzled 🔥 I loved his darkness and unwavering protection. It 4.75 ⭐️ and only because of the belaboring of her ex. 🤦♀️ a couple of times mentioning him was ok. But not the entire book. Then also how quickly he fell for her. (Maybe fated but no mention of it). We will see.
