4.5⭐️
In this book Freya and Carter debut as parents of Chloe and Carter’s daughter, Esme Blu. Freya is still trying to overcome the pain for losing her baby but thanks to Esme and Carter’s support , it seems that little by little she is improving. But an unexpected turn of events cause them to face the loss of a baby again. Both face loss in their own way, they find refuge in each other’s arms, there are far more sexual scenes between them than in the other books ( Carter shows Freya his old self with his duffel bag full of toys), but also they fight more.
There’s a moment with Carter and one of his old flavours where I wish I could slapped him.
Although the scene in front of the fire when Carter talks to Freya about his past and his mistakes, made me see Carter from another perspective, I like him more in this book than in the previous one( I hate Paris and Chloe).
And although there are some chapters from Carter POV is not enough, so I’m looking forward to read the next books in this series, I need it.
I have to say that I agree with Courtney when she reproaches Freya for forgive Carter so easily for all his fuck ups.
Although I have not always liked the dynamics of this couple, I have liked the story. Finally a HEA.
I felt myself go hard just looking at her. I had never had that before. I used to have to make my girls work hard to get me off. They used to bore me, and to be honest, the sex was a lot more adventurous with the others, but with her, it was different. Fuck, I wanted to show her that world so bad, but I needed to take one step at a time, plus, I loved the sex we had. I loved her. I wanted any form of her.
This wasn’t fair. He didn’t deserve this. I know he upset Chloe, but this, this plan of hers. This was another level. She didn’t just break his heart, she fucking destroyed it. Completely and utterly obliterated it. I really didn’t know how I was going to get him back from this.
“It’s my fault.” “Carter,” my mum said quietly. “No, it is. I was acting like an idiot in front of an...” I stopped myself. “An old friend.” I coughed, clearing my throat. “Freya saw. I reacted in the wrong way. I let lust get in the way of everything. She stormed out, telling me not to follow her, so I didn’t. I went to the hospital when I knew Laura was in labour. She didn’t want to see me. She hit me and pushed me away so when she disappeared back into the room, I left. I knew she was in the penthouse, James told me, yet I still didn’t go.”
“Freya,” he said before taking a deep breath. “I know some people may think we are rushing into this, but I have never been more certain about something in my life. You are my world, my soulmate, my best friend. I know we have had our moments, but I honestly couldn’t live without you. You are my home, my life. I vow to always protect you. I vow to always be there for you, to look after you when you need me to, and I promise to be there when words are needed and to be there when you just need me to listen. I will never let you down. Never let you go. I will love you fiercely in all your moods. And I vow that we will always be together, even if things keep us apart, we will always come back to each other. My queen. I love you.”
