Wow, what a wild ride that book was! I was really intrigued by this series and heard good things about it. I was a little hesitant since I'm not a big fan of bully romances but some how Lola King made this book work for me. When she said Caden isn't morally grey he is morally black she was not kidding. I didn't see how Caden and Billie could ever have a happily ever after after all that had happened between them.

As morally black and Caden was, he had moments of pure sweetness that put a smile on my face. His interactions with his nieces and the times he took care of Billie just melted my heart. Even the gestures that Caden did for Billie that were traumatic for him showed that he wasn't all black in his heart. Billie was a great FMC, while tough as nails, she still showed her vulnerable side. It was hard to understand sometimes how she could forgive Caden but at the same time I was rooting for them. I really hope we see them again in the other books. I would love to see them in even farther into the future.

Some quotes that stood out to me:
"Because once someone has seen the worst of you, they can love you for everything you are."-Caden
"My heart is yours little bee. It only loves because you showed it how to."-Caden

I'm now hooked and quickly moving on to book 2. I can't wait to read Xi's story. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
