4.5 *s

I loved Emmett & Briar together. Her dislike for him just makes him all that more interested in winning her over. He turns up the charm and slowly begins to change her mind. And even tho he believes he’s not interested in something serious, and she’s reeling from a failed relationship, they find themselves struggling to resist their attraction. Quickly moving into territory they never expected.

Emmett may be seen as the non-serious Noughton but there’s a lot of depth to him as well. He’s got ideas and dreams, just needs to have someone believe in him. As Briar & Emmett spend more time together, she shows herself to be that person. And the more time passes, the more her support, humor, and sass has him thinking that maybe he could be the settling down kind. Where his support, humor, and caring heart has her thinking that maybe there’s more to him than she thought.

A book with Piper Rayne on the cover is a must read for me and I don’t even have to see the blurb first. They always deliver characters just brimming with heart and humor, with attitude and charm, and their HEAs are so satisfying with all the feels and believability that you could ask for. Looking forward to many more stories to come.

**Part of a series but can be read as a stand alone.**
