Forever Relentless: The steamy, enemies-to-lovers, dark college sports romance
🖤 Possessive morally grey MMC
🖤 Secret identity
🖤 Dual POV
🖤 Enemies-to-lovers
They call him the enforcer.
The one they unleash when mercy isn’t an option. I noticed him the second I set foot on campus.
But I didn't come to Wrighton to admire the team. I came to expose them for what they did to my brother. New name. New past. I slipped inside their world unseen.
Except Noah Matthews saw through me.
He knows who I am. What I'm hunting.
He should have turned me in. That he hasn't is so much worse.
Now he owns my secrets. And me. Every time he pins me against a wall and wraps a hand around my throat, I tell myself I'm afraid of him. But my body calls me a liar. I forget he’s the enemy and start wondering what would happen if he stopped holding back.
Some men are built to protect the line.
Noah was built to destroy anyone who crosses it.
I crossed it.

This was a doozy! I love this series - college football players and an evil coach - with a crew of people trying to right some wrongs. But this was intense! Noah, Dante, Dustin and their girls - so much happens in this book it was hard to keep up. I do love the slow burn between Noah and Briar - so good. And I’m loving Onyx Santos showing up at the end. Can’t wait to see how the next book plays out - Mason needs a redemption arc!
Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Just to start, I am a huge Eve L Mitchell fan and have read the entirety of her Ruthless Devils and the first two titles in the Fourth and Forever series.
I was really looking forward to Noah’s story, and Forever Relentless did not disappoint. Noah has been such a great character throughout the series, so I loved finally getting to know him better and seeing what was going on behind that very guarded exterior.
His relationship with Briar definitely gets off to a contentious start. I think Noah has a hard time trusting her because she lied about who she was when she joined the team as the media specialist, and given Noah’s ability to read people, I can understand why that put him on high alert. He’s actually incredibly perceptive when it comes to people, and I really liked that about him. His communication skills were also surprisingly good compared to some of the other characters in this series. Honestly, I think that’s one of the reasons Briar being older works so well for them. Their dynamic felt more mature, and I really enjoyed that.
The romance was sweet in its own way, but it was also 🔥🔥🔥. These two had SO much chemistry. They really could not stay away from each other, and the combination of tenderness and absolute fire between them worked really well for me.
I also really liked Briar becoming part of the friendship between Savannah and Hadley. I suspected those three would get along, and I was happy to see that their friendship actually felt natural. It never seemed like Briar was being shoved into an already-established friendship just because she was the new heroine. She fit in, and I loved seeing that.
Noah also makes some decisions on his own because he thinks he’s protecting Briar and the people he cares about. His friends definitely aren’t thrilled with him at first, but I have to say, I was impressed. I understood why they were angry, but I also thought Noah ultimately did the right thing. He was willing to make himself the bad guy if it meant keeping the people he loved safe, and that said a LOT about his character.
I’m not completely sure the conclusion of the investigation into the football team was satisfying enough for me. I think I wanted just a little more from that storyline. That said, it did feel like the story was actually closed out, and there weren’t a bunch of annoying loose ends left dangling, so I’ll take it!
I also really enjoyed learning more about Noah’s brother, Tate, and getting more of Mason along the way. And now I’m definitely looking forward to hearing Mason’s story next because apparently I have no choice but to become emotionally invested in every single person in this series. (Also, that cameo on the last page?! That’s exciting.)
Overall, I really loved this one. Noah was absolutely worth the wait, and I loved seeing a different side of him while watching him and Briar figure each other out.
** these are my true, honest opinions of this novel. I was given an advanced reader copy of this book but that in no way influenced my thoughts and feelings.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Wrighton U’s football program is corrupt, and Noah and several of his teammates are determined to expose the truth before it costs them their careers. That’s how they end up getting involved with Briar and Mason, who also suffered the consequences of the corruption years ago. And Briar, in particular, is out for revenge.
I didn’t like Briar, I found her pretty annoying at times, mostly because of how her character is written. And Noah having hardcore thoughts about Briar basically from the moment he sees her, before they’ve even really talked, felt way too soon for me. Their interactions also felt like the book was trying really hard to make their chemistry happen, but I just never felt it. And the way their age difference is treated like it’s this huge deal was kind of weird to me when they’re literally only three years apart and they’re both in their early 20s. Three years is not that big of an age gap here.
I also wasn’t really into the writing style. Some of the dialogue didn’t feel very natural, and there were quite a few moments where the narration felt a little cringe.
The first three or four chapters were actually pretty interesting and made me want to know more about what was going on at the university. But the further I got into the book, the less interested I became, until I eventually just stopped caring about what was happening. I kept reading because I was hoping the story would pull me back in at some point, but the dialogue seemed to get more awkward as I went on and the chapters started feeling way too long because the story just wasn’t holding my attention anymore.
I really tried with this one, but I just couldn’t get into it. It wasn’t for me.
DNF at 34%.

My Thoughts: this series honestly just gets better and better and with each instalment that couple become my favourite, but there’s just something about Noah and Briar, everything says they shouldn’t work but my god do they.
The constant push and pull from them both had me on the edge of my seat, and Noah when he’s being bossy almost made me want to do as I was told 😂
The long running story of the coaches being secretive and hiding things took a whole new turn in this one too, I was hooked, there were times where i wanted to scream at Noah sometimes through anger and other times because I was scared for him.
Briar is keeping secrets, we’ve always known that, but the deep dive into everything made me want to protect her from the fall out we all knew was coming, we just don’t know when.
The chemistry between these two was next level, I’m surprised the pages didn’t set in fire they were that hot.
I fell even more in love with this very unlikely bunch of friends & I will be devastated to see them go when the series is finished next time.
This series honestly reads like a tv show and part of me is disappointed that it isn’t one 😂
If you love a sports romance with a devilishly dark twist with characters that you’ll fall in love with and become insanely attached to then this is the one for you.

3rd of 4 books based on Wrighton University Campus, specifically their football team.
Like the others good strong characters, continuing storyline of a head coach who will stop at nothing to win & push his oen agenda forward by fair means or foul.
The 3 friends Noah, Dante & Dustin.
The last 2 are now loved up with strong partners and Noah is starting to feel left out. Along comes Briar a beautiful feisty social media buff hired by the University.
He soon finds that she has a hidden past and agenda which tallies with theirs to uncover & reveal the corruption in their sports department.

Oh yes! I love this series and I’ve been really looking forward to this one, Noah and Briar, such hot chemistry between these two but also some sweet tender moments. The concept was good and as always a well written book with well developed characters.
Interconnected characters from the previous books feature but you could read as a standalone, but I’ve loved each book and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Briar came to the Wrighton campus with one goal, to uncover the truth about the organization that forced her brother into exile and stole his future. She thought working in social media under a different name would allow her to slip under the radar, but one person noticed her right away, and when he uncovers her secret, she realizes that he is trying to find out the same things she is. No matter how attracted she is to him, he’s a student, she’s staff, and he’s 3 years younger than her. And while they may have a common goal, she’s learned early on that in the end, people always look out for themselves, and that trust must be earned, not given.
Noah noticed Briar the moment she stepped into the stadium, but tried to stay away. Until he and his friends were searching for someone in a town a few hours away, and instead found her, and her brother, and realized he was who they were looking for all along. While they try to talk Briar into working together, she’s not so easily convinced, even when their attraction turns into passion. But Briar doesn’t trust easily, and when Noah makes a decision to keep her out for her own safety, he could lose her for good.
I received an early copy of this book from @netgalley and absolutely loved it! It has been clear for awhile that Noah has his secrets, and while I would have loved to get more than glimpses of his past, I loved getting to know him more. He is fiercely protective of those he cares about, but also tends to shut down to protect his own peace. I loved how he pursued Briar, but also respected her boundaries, reminding her he was there without crossing any lines. While they may have an age gap, his life experiences have matured him in a way that makes them compatible, in and out of the bedroom. While it seems that some of the storyline is wrapping up, with some answers coming to light, I know it’s not over yet, and I can’t wait to see what happens in Mason’s book, especially with Onyx in the picture.

Here’s my review for Forever Relentless by Eve L Mitchell
I absolutely loved this addictive enemies-to-lovers, possessive morally grey MMC with secret identity involved, dark sports college romance. It's the third installment of Fourth and Forever. Briar Holmes has been employed by Wrighton sports college as their social media content person which means she gets to spend a lot of time photographing the Alabama Lions football players. Unfortunately, she has an ulterior motive which is to prove what the college did to her brother. Noah Matthews seems to have a power over her and they try really hard to fight the mutual attraction. Dante Spence and Noah work out really quickly what her secret is and it adds to their suspicions they already have.
I found this to be a brilliantly suspenseful read that drew me in right from the very start and that I just couldn’t put down as I didn't want to miss anything that happened. It was superbly written, extremely well plotted and excellently thought out with a lot of intrigue built into it. The characters were really interesting, well described and developed, some worked together really well. I loved the enemies-to-lovers coming together and how the author made it happen. This was a dual pov story and I really enjoy those types of stories as you seem to learn more that way. I really loved this installment and think this is a terrific series.

#Review: *Forever Relentless* - Eve L. Mitchell - ARC [18+]
4/5✨
2/5🌶️
Briar decided that she was going with her own investigation, to find out the truth about everything that happened to her brother, Mason, after unfairly being accused about something that occured to one girl from Wrighton campus. This whole investigation wasn't easy, but Briar was lucky to find people who also wanted to discover the shady things that happened in that college. What she didn't expect was to get close and fall for a student who was going there, a boy who was obviously younger than her. That for sure didn't made things easier for her, but was she willing to face everything that came with this new love she found? Will she also be able to fulfill her purpose of uncovering the truth about Wrighton campus?
This whole investigation was quite interesting to follow, being curious to find out what happened there that lead to Mason's situation. I liked that she was able to rely on the rest of the people who wanted to help her, making everything more enticing. The slow burn and continuous banter between Briar and young football player, Noah Matthews, was delicious to follow, liking that forbidden love which came with that connection, because that kind of interfered with her investigation. But I feel like this whole thing was a bit too much dragged and not having that many elements which should have kept me alert after a point while reading this book. I needed a bit more from this point of view, but I was still invested in finding out if they were able to solve this case. How it concluded was also something a bit strange for me, but I appreciated that we were able to have a sort of closure in the end.
A book which kept me invested by the whole mystery which Briar was trying to uncover, by that forbidden love she shared with Noah and by that strong bound which was created between all the members who joined this journey of finding out the secrets which were hidden in the campus.

Eek, I was convinced this would be the finale to a trilogy, only to discover there's going to be a fourth story!!!
I had first discovered this author with book 1 in the Cardinal Saints series, and the previous books in this series have referenced the Devils characters a few times, and even had a wee visit to them, but this book had a bit more. The epilogue also showed us that they may still have more of a part to play. I'd love to see them coming together, maybe a big showdown game between the two schools or something!
In this story we get Noah's story, Noah has been the quiet, assessing enforcer type character supporting Dante and Dustin in books 1 and 2, I really enjoyed getting to learn more about his history, his family and seeing his loyalty constantly showing up for those around him.
We also finally get more of the story of what happened to Mason, I really enjoyed getting to know him more too, and Briar alongside.
The way that the story started being wrapped up both satisfied and dissatisfied me. I cant really go into the why of that without giving away spoilers, but I think people who have read this and the series may understand.
There are not many spicy scenes - the gallery night is great though. I just felt like Noah was this strong, silent type, but that he would be this filthy lover, so I expected a bit more.
I could barely stand to put this down because I thought we were finally going to get answers and I was so invested. I am really looking forward to maybe getting a bit of a different tale from Mason next, especially given the fact his love interest has not been made apparent.
An enjoyable read and a great series!
I had first discovered this author with book 1 in the Cardinal Saints series, and the previous books in this series have referenced the Devils characters a few times, and even had a wee visit to them, but this book had a bit more. The epilogue also showed us that they may still have more of a part to play. I'd love to see them coming together, maybe a big showdown game between the two schools or something!

⚠️ Important: this is part of a connected series and must be read in order. It also contains references to suicide which some may find upsetting—definitely for mature readers 18+ only.
They call him the Enforcer—the one they bring in when there’s no room for mercy, only control. I spotted him the moment I stepped foot on Wrighton’s campus, but I didn’t come here to watch the team play. I came to make them pay for what they did to my brother. I built a new name, a fake past, and slipped right into their world undetected… except Noah Matthews saw right through me.
He knows exactly who I am, and exactly what I’m hunting. He should have turned me in then and there. But he didn’t—and that’s somehow far worse. Now he holds every one of my secrets in his hands… and he holds me, too. Every time he shoves me against a wall, every time his hand curls around my throat, I tell myself I’m terrified. But my body betrays me every single time. I keep forgetting he’s the enemy—and start wondering what might happen if he finally stops holding back.
Some men are made to defend the line. Noah was made to destroy anyone who crosses it. And I stepped right over it.
This third instalment in the series is pure dark, spicy sports romance perfection—all that possessive, dangerous morally grey energy you crave, told from both perspectives. If you love Meagan Brandy, Chloe Walsh, L.J. Shen or any of your favourite edgy romance authors, this one’s going to hit every single note.

I went into this book super excited because I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in this series of interconnected standalones. Forever Relentless is Noah and Briar's story.
This entire series has had mystery, suspense, a great storyline and I feel like this book fell flat. The mystery is resolved-ish in this book, but it feels like a let down after the build up during the first two books. And there is another book coming, so maybe it'll redeem the resolution in this one. I'll definitely read it to see if it does, plus Mason is interesting.
Briar is dead set on revenge for her brother and while I get it, I don't feel like she ever really evolved as a character. Noah definitely had growth, but he is the epitome of protective hero, but the people in question don't necessarily need saving (in reality, did they? Probably.)
I struggled a little with this book too because it was referring to 'the middle linebacker', 'the QB', the 'dean's daughter', and while Briar might not have know their names initially, it definitely made it more difficult to follow. Definitely wouldn't recommend reading this as a standalone because of the continuous storyline of the series, even though each book has a different couple.
Overall, this book was fine, but it didn't blow me away like the first two did. Hoping the next book in the series is more like the first two.

Every time I think this series couldn’t get any more intense, or more addictive, Eve L Mitchell proves me WRONG! Forever Relentless had me completely hooked, and Noah Matthews?! Oh, this man is DANGEROUS in all the best fictional ways! 🖤
Noah and Briar’s story had me living for every single second of the tension between them. I couldn’t get enough of their interactions. Noah and the others are trying to uncover the secrets while not destroying their futures. Briar has her own mission, her own secrets, and a determination that makes their dynamic even more explosive. Watching their story unfold had me completely invested!
I was glued to the pages trying to piece everything together. I love how this series gives us romance with an actual plot that keeps you guessing, twists that make you question EVERYTHING, and characters you become genuinely attached to. The team dynamics and found-family vibes are another huge highlight for me, and I’m already not emotionally prepared for this series to end!
Eve L. Mitchell has once again delivered a suspense-filled romance that had me feeling ALL THE THINGS.
Do yourself a favor and pick this one up — but make sure you read the series in order! Trust me, you don’t want to miss a single piece of this story

4 1/2 Stars … I couldn’t put this book down!
I was captivated from start to finish. The author knows how to get a person hooked … a great storyline and realistic banter. I loved Noah and Briar … they just belonged together. Even though Briar was older, Noah seemed mature for his age. I loved the twists and turns … they kept me guessing. And don’t get me started on the steamy scenes … hot! This is a great addition to the series and I can’t wait for Mason’s book next.
If you haven’t read the previous books in this series, I advise you to read them before you read this book. Even though each book is a standalone romance, there is a backstory that goes throughout all three books and continues on.
Noah is a linebacker for his Alabama Lions and needs another great season before he declares for the NFL. Briar takes a job in social media for the college, but she’s really there to spy on the football coach. The same coach that ruined her brother’s life. When she meets Noah, there are sparks between them, but she’s older than him and he’s a student while she’s an employee … not a good mix.

I'm reviewing this as part of a tour with Zooloo's Book Tours.
This is part of the Fourth and Forever series by this author, and this time, it was Noah and Briar's story. From the first chapter, I was drawn into the atmosphere and felt I was there with the character. I think sports romance always has that kind of energy, fast-paced, and it feels like there is always something exciting going on. That was the case here, I felt as though if I stopped reading even for a moment, I wouldn't be able to keep up with these characters and their energy.
Noah and Briar both had a powerful presence on the pages. Noah seemed like the kind of guy who would have everyone's head turning, and Briar had strong independent woman energy. I kind of felt like she was a self-sufficient character who didn't require validation or anyone else's approval.
I really liked Noah and Briar's chemistry and their angsty energy, and I also appreciated the presence of characters from the previous books in the series. If you haven't read those, this still works well as a standalone.
Thank you to Zooloo's Book Tours, and to the author and publisher, for the opportunity to read and review this.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Forever Relentless is a sport romance featuring found family, a forbidden work place romance.
Noah is a football player for the University with hopes to register for the Draft soon. He just needs to finish his degree and be on the team. Briar is seeking revenge against the team, that ended with her brother career and dreams. She takes to her own, her plan as the older sister. Noah knows that there is also something wrong going on with the team, and he is also trying to understand it.
The story stars with a confrontation between the current players and Masson, Briar's brother. Briar is protective of her brother and doesn't let them the information they need. There is a constant pull between Noah and Briar, but they know they need each other as they can potentially blackmail each other. She is a bit older than him but not enough in my option to consider age gap. As a Staff and Student issue. I like how slowly they know more about each other even without verbalizing it just on actions..
Thank you Joffe books, Eve L. Mitchell and NetGalley for the advance copy.

Forever Relentless by Eve L. Mitchell is the third book in the Fourth and Forever series.
Noah and Briar’s story had an epic first chapter and from there I was hooked. The twists, the backstory that’s been unravelling since the first book are all coming undone as each chapter of the story progresses. And everything just kept evolving until the point that I just sat there wondering what the hell is going on, cause the plot twist was so unexpected. I feel like the final book in the series will blow up big time before it all settles down.
I also really loved the banter between Noah and Briar, especially at the bar. This story was definitely slow burn, but these two were well matched. The story definitely resolved more around the backstory for the series than their relationship, which was a good balance to set up the story for the fourth (and I think final) book.
Also halfway through I started hoping that the last book in the series is Mason’s. So I can’t wait to read the fourth book!
And the ending OMG, just oh my gosh!!!

This is the third book in the Fourth and Forever series. I haven't read any of the previous books and didn't realise it was best read in order. That said, I whipped through it in a day!
Noah and Briar are the main characters of Forever Relentless. Their slow burn was amazing! The enemies-to-lovers trope is one of my favourites, and this had it in spades.
The college football programme is corrupt, and Noah, with his friends, is determined to get to the truth, no matter the cost. Then we have Briar, who's out for revenge due to the fallout of the same corruption.
The chemistry between Noah and Briar is smoking! I was so invested, even though I haven't read the other books. I couldn't tear my eyes away from this one!! The fact that Briar is attempting to clear her brother's name by working undercover on the campus but Noah realises, creates a tension that is tangible.
I would never have considered reading a sports romance before this but Eve L. Mitchell has definitely given me a new genre to enjoy, AND more books to add to my TBR pile!!

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
This one picks up right where the last book left off, but shifts focus to a new FMC and MMC. I get that we're in a different POV, but referring to characters as "the reporter's face" or "the dean's daughter," or just calling someone "brother" instead of using their actual names, took me right out of the first chapter. It's also very dialogue heavy from the start, same as the previous books.
I didn't really understand the drama around the age gap either. Twenty to twenty-three doesn't feel like something worth all that stress, especially when her working for the school seems like the bigger issue by far. After book two, I expected some massive scandal to drop and kept reading because I wanted to find out what happened, but that never really materialized. Instead it was just a shady coach doing shady things while everyone else tried to keep their heads down and push forward.
Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for this ARC.

(4.5⭐️) This series just keeps getting better and better! I was so worried this was going to be the last one so I was really relieved in the epilogue that we could see the direction book 4 would be going in.
The more I get to know these characters the more I love them, this is definitely a series you need to read from the start to enjoy fully and they're on KU, so what are you waiting for?!
Noah and Briar took centre stage in this book, and I really enjoyed getting to know more about their characters and true identities but the previous characters also featured heavily and I loved that. Their romance was a slow burn with some scorching chemistry.
As we follow the story trying to uncover what is going on with the corrupt football programme the suspense builds and your never sure who to trust fully. The coach had my blood boiling at times and I'd still love to see him taking down a peg or two, but I do think he found his match in Noah.

This is Book 3 in the Fourth & Forever series. The books must be read in order & are NOT standalones!!! I have read all 3 books.
I enjoyed Noah & Briar's story... I had been looking forward to Noah's story for a while & it's interesting that Briar is Mason's sister. I liked that they were able to work together to clear her brother's name. I also enjoyed seeing a bit of the characters from the past books. I like their friend group.
The book is told in a dual 1st person POV
Spice level: 3/5
*sports romance
*college romance
*age gap (only 3 years, she's 24, he's 21, but it's made to be a big deal in the book)
*morally grey MMC
*enemies to lovers
*dark romance
*he's the team's enforcer
*hidden identity
Thank you to the author (Eve L Mitchell), publisher (Joffe Books) & Netgalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I am a new reader to Eve L Mitchell but I am hooked. The characters are fantastic, the premise is unique, and the tension is edge of your seat.
There is a lot going on, and that makes this read intense. Noah and Blair do not hit it off right away, and Noah does not trust her. The reason for Briar being on campus is to uncover the truth. His perception is spot on. They have a slow burn that I personally love.
I loved Noah and Blair’s journey. Getting to know Noah better, and seeing how he pursued Blair. While some questions are answered, I have a feeling we are going to learn more in the next book. So far we have seen plenty of mystery, suspense, and I am looking forward to more.

3 stars for me.
Noah and Briar story start as the most of this series,an enemies who are allies to lovers.The romance was ok,and I get Briar's unwilling to risk everything,she wants to get her brother clear,and any feelings between her and Noah it's not something she is looking for.I was waiting for the suspense part,and was curious how it will play out,if that's it I'm little bit dissapoined,I was expecting something more sinister.I enjoyed most parts of it,and it was great to see the bromance between the players,hopefully book four brings everything to a nice conclusion.

This is Noah's story in the Relentless series. A great standalone of steamy college romance.
You don’t need to be a follower of American college football, but be prepared for some
pretty steamy scenes and not just in the after game bathroom!
There’s something dodgy going on in the back office of Wrighton Uni football. And a group
of players are trying to unravel just what is and who is behind the corruption. The secret
digging and delving into the background takes them into a minefield and up against the evil
coach. It also brings together Noah and Briar, two unlikely and unwilling opposites but
drawn together inextricably. Hold tight, it gets pretty hot in there

Unfortunately, this book did not live up to expectations. *Keep in mind that I haven't read the two previous books in the series, but I still could understand the plot and character dynamics.
The blurb made it sound like it would be filled with tension and depth. I would say it was quite dramatic, but I didn't see the ruthlessness of Noah or the depths of Briar as I thought I would. In addition, the book was light on their relationship and more focused on the plot, which was ambiguous. Overall, I felt like the premise of the book wasn't clear, and I didn't love it.

I can't believe I'm already back with the third book in the Fourth And Forever series having devoured books 1 & 2 over just the last couple of months.
You all know I love a morally grey character and this series has them all.
This story focuses on the team enforcer, Noah - and although we've seen him in bits and pieces throughout the series so far - here we really get to learn more about his background and family which expands his character so much.
I love the way he fiercely protects and the way he always shows up for his friends and team.
With Dante and Dustin now partnered up, I felt a little for Noah being alone - but along comes Briar to save the day - although she's there determined to finally uncover their secrets and Noah must come to terms with what he knows and what he knows they both feel.
I honestly thought that this was going to be the final book in this series but I'm both happy and a little sad that there's going to be another book!
I expected things to be fully wrapped up here and to be left wanting again was a little bit of a shock - however this does mean that we'll be getting more of the boys and maybe even a bigger crossover than we'd been expecting with the Santos boys who do keep popping up here and there.
This was another book that had me hooked - I could not put this down.
It's definitely a series to read in order and definitely one to keep in mind that we are dealing with some tough topics throughout, so please do check the content warnings before heading in.
I'm hoping that it won't be too much of a wait for book 4 now and I'm so excited to see how things play out in the end.

Wow what a story.....this is the third book in the series. I definitely recommend reading them in order so you dont miss the underlying current of mystery and intrigue with the fabulous plot. This is my favorite one so far, I love Noah and Briar the will they, wont they tug of emotional war is real!! At one point I did feel like banging their heads together but they finally got their act together...seeing who is coming in the next book had my jaw dropping, I absolutely cant wait for that one

Forced myself to finished this book somehow cause I thought by end it’ll be better.
I had a bit hard time with this book. I’ve been reading Eve’s book for a bit long time and I loved her books.
This one seems to didn’t click with me.
