Ok, so this was fantastic. I love how satisfying the endings to these books always are although I wish there was an extra bonus revenge epilogue in this one. If Im being completely honest this was my least favourite of Devyns omega verse books but that is because of personal preferences with tropes:

Insecure FMC, inexperienced FMC, previous bad relationship that continues to show up, bitchy new GF of former relationship

I did love the story aside from those tropes. It was fantastic (as they always are). The spice was great and I love the exploration of many kinks through each guys taste, it kind of reminded me of Inked 8 by Stephanie Brother. I did struggle a couple of times to tell the guys apart, specifically Vaughn and Hawk because for some reason those names are the same to me.

I would like to thank Devyn for the arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I knew most of this already but there was some interesting points on reframing arguments and discussions of privilege.

This made me really sad but I still loved it.

I honestly think I would have preferred this without so much plot. Don’t get me wrong I love when spice has a plot and more to it but this just made the FMC seem really annoying. 

I like the flashbacks, even though they usually annoy me. I loved the kinks etc, so good!

It kind of reminded me of Bloodshed by Molly Doyle

I absolutely love valentines bay. Will and Abbie have such good sexual tension and I love how their story develops. There is so much going on and at points it did feel like a couple storylines were forgotten but overall it was really good.

I wish we had more of a wrap about Seb’s mom and who had posted the daddy will stuff

Thank you Netgalley, Hachette Australia & New Zealand, Headline Eternal for this ARC.

Ok, I want to start by saying that I absolutely loved The Cheat Sheet. It was one of my favourite books and I absolutely could not wait to read this one. But unfortunately it was not what I was hoping. 

I ended up very much disliking Bree, Nathan and other characters I loved in the first one because they were all incredibly annoying about Derek not dating. I also struggled to like Derek and Nora. Within the first 50% there were countless times I wanted to DNF and while they did get slightly less frequent in the second half, they didn’t stop. So I did give up at around 65%.

If you didn’t like the “quirky” nature of Bree in book one or loved it because of the friends to lovers tension, you may not like this one. My favourite things about The Cheat Sheet were Bree and Nathan’s relationship and the positive relationship between the team. I didn’t hate Bree’s quirky nature but it definitely wasn’t a bonus by any means. I do enjoy Noras colourful clothing but she just comes across as stupid a lot of the time. Derek is also an ass with little to no justification. Some of the ‘tasks’ he comes up with for his agent are just annoying.

This kind of made me never want to reread The Cheat Sheet again and that is what makes me more mad than anything. How could a sequel ruin one of my favourite books??

Thank you SunnyBabe PR for the ARC. I won’t be giving a star rating because it felt like someone’s diary, it was very personal. 

I am so proud of the recovery seen in these pages

candy cane???? also cross over with the baking demon and I love it

Love seeing them again
