If you had told me that I would ever, and I mean ever, fall so completely in love with Carter fucking Trayland, I would have laughed in your face. But oh my gosh, I am in awe of Kelsey because not only did she make me love this amazing man, but he turned out to be her best hero, ever. I said it!! Carter is officially mine. He can wreck my plans and my vagina any day. *heart eyes*
Carter's growth is by far my favorite thing ever. Throughout all of Kelsey's books, he's grown from that entitled young shit who thought the world owed him a favor, to a genuinely *good* man who has regrets about how everything happened, but he has so much love and depth to him too, and just wants to wrong all the rights. And more than anything, he wish he could go back and choose the right girl from the get-go. Cue all the feels!!
As for Tye, good lord that girl captivated me. She is on the path for revenge for what happened to her best friend, and she's fed up with not getting the answers she needs. She's so lost without her-- her bff was literally her other half, especially considering what she saved Tye from as a young kid- my heart just ACHED for her. She's determined to make Carter pay for his hand in all of this tragedy, but what she didn't expect was to still feel this undeniable pull to him. Yes, she can admit that he's attractive, and she may have wanted him first, but now all she feels for him his hate (or so she tells herself) but we all know differently! These two truly have the most beautiful moments together underneath all of Tye's animosity, and I loved, LOVED, how Carter saw the beautiful soul underneath all her pain. Tye has lived an entire life of pain, and her backstory just broke my heart so much. I can't imagine surviving that, much less thriving and falling in love with life again. But what I really loved? The fact that Carter would gladly let Tye destroy him if it brought her even an ounce of relief. Gosh dammit, someone must be chopping onions around me again, because I'm tearing up just thinking about it! Ugh, Carter is beyond perfect.
The sexy moments between these two were straight FIRE. Their chemistry was ridiculously intense, and I loved seeing them FINALLY act on it. Underneath all of that too, you could always tell how much they adored one another, even if a certain someone was trying like hell to deny it. ;)
I am just so in love with this series, and I cannot wait for more. Each book is better than the last, and I have no idea how Kelsey keeps doing it, but I never want her to stop! And that cliffhanger regarding Easton and Kennedy?! HOLY HELL, I need their book like yesterday!!!
Please do yourselves a favor and one click this amazing book as soon as you can! You won't regret it!
*I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions*
**Although this can be read as a standalone, this picks up right after Change My Game leaves off, so I definitely recommend reading this series in order.
