What in the name of sweet baby goats was this flaming garbage ENDING?!?!?! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Pissed doesn't nearly describe how I feel about this book. FURIOUS! 🔥 SEETHING! 🤬 ENRAGED!💀 THIS is what I spent my sleep hours on?
🤢🤡🤡
Full transparency: if the last couple of chapters and the EPILOGUE were done differently, I would've given this book 3 stars, maaaaybe even 4, since the last two books were so great. I could've been generous. But the author managed to throw in the GARBAGE all the work she did in the previous books for this s#it!
THE FOLLOWING BASHING WILL BE FILLED WITH SPOILERS! 🚩🚩🚩 PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

The story continues with the saga of the hero's, Saint Angelle, and the heroine's, Mallory Ellis, tumulous relationship, the ups and downs and the secrets, that surround them. The secrets part was actually not bad: somewhat predictable, somewhat shocking, somewhat OTT dramatic, but entertaining nonetheless👌 What I liked about this book, was the hero: he was an asshole, the kind you just KNOW won't get a complete redemption and personality transplant after he gets with the heroine, which I respected.
The bullying aspect was at times childish, at times cruel, but NEVER CROSSED THE LINE OF NON-CON 👌👌
The heroine was TSTL tbh. All three books we only have her POV, she wants to get more from the hero, wants some clarity to what they are (justified), spends hours upon hours thinking about him and wanting to be with him, but when he confesses her love to her (which is a big deal to him considering his abusive father and painful past), she NOT ONLY doesn't say it back, she ignores him, doesn't trust him, avoids him and creates unnecessary drama between him. The author wrote the tension between them so great in book 1 and 2, it baffles me how she screwed it up in book 3. There were no justifications for the couple to act the way they acted. For God's sake, they went on a spring break to Hawaii and instead of being together and fucking like bunnies, they ignored each other the whole week FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 And there were plenty similar situations!
The heroine knew that the hero's father wanted her gone, whatever it took, and knew that the hero vowed to put his father in prison to keep her safe. The heroine was tricked to meet his father (very stupidly, might I add), and after the hero was WORRIED SICK ABOUT HER and blew up her phone with messages, she though: "i'M nOt In ThE mOoD tO aNsWeR hIm" 🤡🤡🤡💀💀💀 and proceeded with her mani/pedi and hair for prom🤦♀️
There were no breakthrough in their relationship. The hero confessed his love and his past, where he was abused. The heroine didn't comfort him or respond in any kind of way, they went to prom, where the fire started and the hero was in the house, so the heroine rushed in....THE END! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Who the fuck ends the book that way! And then we have the IDIOCY that is the EPILOGUE: from the POV of their FRIEND 😂😂😂😂 we see the memorial service for Saint, who's been dead for a year, all the friends mourn him, the heroine is tragically broken. The friend, whose POV we read was always into the heroine, so he follows her in hopes of getting a chance with her, since the hero is dead 💀 only to find out that the hero is alive, they have a child together and for some illogical reason he decided to fake his death...🤯🤯🤯🤯 The hero says 'I love you' to the heroine, to which she responds 'yOu ToO' (never once in the books she said she loves him), the friend thinks to himself "Oh good, now they can be happy and leave the drama behind them".
NOW IT'S OFFICIALLY 'THE END' 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
