This story had such potential but it was all over the place for me that just made it unenjoyable overall. There was so many tiny things throughout but it didnt lead to anything major and there were parts that should have been expanded on but lacked. 

DNF @ 32%

felt no connection to the characters and didnt really vibe with the book

I have been waiting for Ryder and Crystal for as long as I can remember and I am so happy to finally have more on them. 

Whew, these two took me through it. It was so emotional compared to previous books. I loved it though, these two has such a deep connection and a past that I feel we had to be put through the emotions as we were. 

I really enjoyed the parts we got of their past and what led up to everything. They have such a great connection and their chemistry is INSANE!!!

I loved the twist and turns in this book and it kept me on my toes right up until that end. And that epilogue, absolute perfection!!

I love me a good MMF, add in hot cowboys and I AM SOLD. I went in thinking yes, cowboy smutty goodness, I was not prepared for the chokehold and emotional rollercoaster this book took me through.

I loved them each as individuals but together, together, these three stole my heart. From the childhood friends, to the rivalry, to slow burning in to something so much more, these three had such great growth.

Holy chemistry, might I add!!

I think this book topped as my favorite that Jessa has ever written. These three were literal perfection and I want more of them.

There were some minor issues in the beginning with names changing for the same person that caused me a little apprehension and it was a tad too long. While I know the majority of the story was them finding themselves and all that but it was too long in my opinion, this could have been maybe half the size it was and it would have held my attention more and gotten the same story and point across. 

Nat and Olli were sweet but I felt that things between them were explored in ways that it should have or could have been better or different. It felt a bit surface level at times and other time's I felt like they were completely different people than what was being portrayed previously. 

The thing I like most about this was the whole Ice Out concept.

I wish I could have enjoyed this a bit more than I did but I just couldn't get in to it as much as I would have liked to.

Short read but man did it pack a punch. I was sucked right in with the story of Riven and Lakynn. 

From the short glimpse we got of Riven I knew there was something dark lurking beneath him and boy oh boy, I was not prepared for what was unleased. That man is POSSESSIVE and OBSESSIVE AF!!! I am here for all of it. He's unhinged and feral when it comes to Lakynn.


Lakynn knows what she wants and I love the backbone on her. She didn't give in and fought. She is equally as obsessed with Riven and honestly, equal obsession is hot!!! 

These two had INSANE chemistry and their connection was deep. No one, I mean absolutely NO ONE could come between them and if they tried, well let's just say Riven will put them 6 feet under. 

My only complaint, I wanted this to be sooooooo much longer. I wanted more of them. Also, that ending, with a certain twin??? I really hope we get more in that world!

I started this book and could not put it down. I stayed up way to late to finish it, paid the price the next day but honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. 

Bella really proved she has a fire inside her that no one can put out. She has been through it time and time again and I really love how she slowly came in to herself and finally stood up for what she knew she deserved. 

Xander has my heart. He comes off a certain way but deep down, he's such a softie for Bella. I love how protective he was of Bella and that he wanted her safe and the best for her.

The dynamic and chemistry between them is FIRE!!!! 

Jake and Bella's mom, yeah they can have a one way ticket straight to the place where the sun don't shine. I couldn't stand either one of them. 

Let's talk about that ending, now I knew going in to this about the cliffy but I was NOT expecting that. I need that second book asap.

This was a first from this author and honestly I just didn't vibe with the characters or the overall story. 

Some of the wording was a bit cringe and seemed a little juvenile me. It didn't seem like it was cohesive and didn't know which direction it wanted to go. It just didn't match for me. 

Oliver really struggled with coming to terms with his feelings. While Wyatt was very patient.

They did have amazing chemistry and they did get their HEA but it felt a bit rushed at the end.

what a perfect ending for the series. 

I loved these two so much. 

TJ was so sweet, patient and understanding. being Jimmys safe place from the start. 

Jimmy really grew in to himself and I love the confidence he grew. I think he definitely had the biggest character growth and I love that for him.
