This is the first time in a while that I have cried while reading a book.

I honestly could have finished this in a day, but there were a couple of times that I had to put it down just so I could process. I wasn't expecting it to be so emotional. 

It was also adorable but not quite as spicy as I was expecting. Jaxon had so much character development. I’m so glad it wasn't an “I can fix him”; he fixed him so he could be happy. He also deserved her the whole time, and I think that made me love it even more. 

I'm a gift girlie; they are my love language, and Jaxon has raised my standards.

Ok, a few things (with spoilers I’m sorry)

1 He sucked so much in the first half, can he think of anything that isn’t sex and being an arrogant asshole?
2 He should never have taken her back
3 He’s so in love that he dates someone else??
4 That big reveal was so underwhelming (by the way here’s my big secret/ yeah I know)??

Also I just hate when there are irish mcs clearly not written by an irish person

This could have been great but between the “rizz master” comment, the not like other girl fmc and the over the top boundary pushing that made me want to jumped into the book and yell at her men, it just wasn’t.

I love why choose, I love rejected mates, I love her hiding things and rejecting them because it’s not safe. But this sucked. The Bonds that Tie has all those things but is one of my favourite series, this was just not it. 

I was either physically cringing or grinding my teeth for most of the book. There were a couple cute moments but overall I just can’t recommend it at all.

It was fun, but the enemies to lovers was not enemies-to-lovers-ing.
