Started reading it on wattpad but it was a paid story and I didn't have enough coins to buy it so I came here and saw it. I'm happy I'm able to read it here. The free parts of this book on wattpad are very intriguing. I was very engrossed while reading this book. Such a great work the writer should keep it up. <33

I REALLY REALLY enjoyed it💞💞

I just fell in love with Claire and Zion. The whole Petrakis family is so exciting that you can't resist each one's tales to be unveiled.

Their stories are so full of banters and roller coaster emotions that you can feel the sensations within.

This novel is actually good, unlike his father, Zion supported Claire in order to do work and be independent, it has 2 volumes i like the latter one tbh. Where it showed maturity in characters and of course they were at the correct age to handle their problems and took their decisions by themselves.

A bit childish behaviour but of course we all do this stubborn and childishness at some point in our lives. So, i won't crib because for that.


Overall you can give it a try to lighten your mood. However again volume 2 is better. 😂😂
