Zaxton and Aurelia….oh how much I love these two. Each of them are broken in their own way, each of them working towards their own goals and closed off. From the moment they cross paths again there is distrust and attraction. The chemistry between these two is sizzling and banter between them was fantastic from start to finish. I completely devoured their story. I was absolutely hooked from start to finish.

Zaxton has been closed off to relationships since the loss of his girlfriend, though the man is no stranger to having some fun but he never lets things get serious. Aurelia hasn’t had the best life, she has been on her own from a young age. However, despite everything she has worked hard for everything she has earned. I loved her strength and determination. They are both broken, yet together they found a way to heal those broken pieces and knock down the walls.

I loved the secondary characters in this story from Lamar to Zaxton’s friends. I can’t wait to jump back into this series and this world.
