Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

I’m not going to hate on this book (too much) because I already knew I would struggle with it. Lark is a great author and I generally enjoy her stories a lot. Unfortunately I don’t like Bailey and Harlow as a couple, and struggled to sympathize with Bailey in general. That’s just my personal preferences (and issues) at play, though. I can relate to a lot of Bailey’s hang-ups and issues, which made it more emotional in some ways than I expected. However, I didn’t agree with how he dealt with said problems and how he treated Harlow because of it.

You might be wondering why I even read this book when I already knew I wouldn’t *love* it, and it’s basically just because I wanted to know the rest of the characters. I wanted to see the guys meet Ferry (I loved Patience), and I wanted to figure out why everyone hates Blaise so much, lol. Both series have a massive cast, so I wanted to get caught up.

Harlow wasn’t as much of a sassy spitfire and murderous twink as I expected him to be after book 1, but he was still a fun character. I ended up liking him more than I expected to.

I really enjoyed Joel Leslie and Dan Calley’s work on the audiobook. The accents were awesome!
