I've been looking forward to Vas's story since meeting him in Shots On Net and J.J. didn't disappoint!

Henri is the sweetest, most loveable MC with so much kindness to give. Atlas on the other hand is a grumpy jerk from the start, he's cynical and doesn't believe in love but no matter how hard he tries to avoid it, he ends up falling for Henri. The more we get to know Atlas we see that he's trying to keep everyone at arms length to protect himself and Henri is exactly the kind of person Atlas doesn't want, but needs in his life.

There were so many sweet moments in this book such as the apple gifts, and I loved all the small touches and interactions between the two characters. 

Though Max and Luke are still my favourites (🤭), I really enjoyed Henri and Atlas's story and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!
