I was provided with an ARC in exchange for an honest review

The story follows Oliva and Thatcher as they navigate their relationship through life and mental health issues. I absolutely enjoyed their story and loved all the characters which were presented within the story. I am usually not the biggest fan of the surprise baby trope but it fits very well with the story and I could understand Oliva's intentions. I really liked the BDSM elements within the novel because they added to the story and the relationship and it was very clearly defined with safe words and portrayed a relatable Dom/Sub relationship. I cannot speak for the mental health wrap but I loved to read a story in which it is an important topic and that highlights how important treatment, support systems, and acknowledgment are.

Overall I absolutely loved Oliva and Thatcher and Ari is just so precious.

Reread 22. April 2021:
I think I loved this installment even more after my reread and the additional scenes were awesome and added fantastically to the story. I love the meet-up of Giselle and Sinclair and how their relationship starts out and the boat scene is still one of my favorite scenes ever. I am still in awe and probably always will be of how easily Giana makes me fall in love with characters and not just the main ones but also the surrounding cast.

I really liked this novella and the start of the series. As always I lost myself in Giana Darling's writing. I cannot wait to continue with the second installment in the series, to see where the story takes Giselle and Sinclair.

How much can your heart break again for a character even though you know exactly what is going to happen. I think this reread the characters and their journey has impacted me even more because not only do I know the story already but I also have more information through reading the Enslaved duett. I absolutely love these characters and to see Giselle and Sin's connection again was awesome.

I loved the second installment in this series. It really dove deeper into the Story of Sin and Elle and I liked how the conflict that came up was dealt with. Sin and Elle are definitely not perfect characters but they are always real.

Reread 24.03.2021
Again, I am just blown away by the ending of this series and the incredible love of Sin and Elle. I have fallen in love even further with these characters and it was also so nice to see Cosima and Alexander again after I have read the Enslaved duett. I loved the bonus content and the bonus epilogue just hit me completely in the feels and I was sobbing happy tears and now I am even more hyped for the Anti-Heroes in love duett.

I found that it was a very good conclusion to the series and I cannot wait to see more glimpses into their lives when the story of Elle's siblings are discussed.

I absolutely love this series and all the characters which are featured in it. I think the story between Giselle and Sinclair is beautiful and their chemistry is amazing and you can really feel it while reading the story. I am not a fan of cheating in novels but in this case, I understood the element and I loved the execution. I love the Lombardi Family and to see their dynamic is fantastic. I cannot wait for the other books in the series, especially Elena because she is such a fascinating charater.

I really enjoyed this novel and I loved the chemistry between Linc and Jordan. I loved to see their relationship progress and how they navigated it. I am really looking forward to reading the other books in this series.

I was not a huge fan of this novel because it seemed that for the whole nearly 350 pages the action was repeated and it just did not feel like Avatar to me. I really enjoyed the LGBTQ+ representation but that was the most the book had going for it.

I really liked to see the movie as a comic but I missed the pot race parts.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and the elements that were presented. I previsiouly had only read the author's Dirty series which consists of six novellas so I was really intrigued to see how long work would look like and I was definitely blown away. I loved the set-up as well as the execution of the story and it went a lot darker and deeper than I thought before going it. So definitely trigger warnings for sexual-assault. I found the chemistry between the characters to be amazing and I really liked the side characters. In the end, I found it a bit too long but overall it was a fantastic book.

I really enjoyed the start of this sci-fi series and I liked all of the characters. I cannot wait to see where the second part takes us.
