Out of all the books in this series, this one was one of the most intriguing premises but with a big dose of "how will this come together?". Throughout most of the book, I seriously wondered how a happily ever after could happen, but knew it would because of romance rules. While I do think it came together pretty well in the end, this book wasn't my favorite in the series.

Taryn and Shaw are both likable characters separately but I just didn't connect with them immediately. They both have huge obstacles to overcome. Taryn is consumed with work and needs to figure out how to have balance in her life. Shaw is hiding from life because he feels so unworthy of love. They both have to be brave enough to go public with their relationship and for Shaw, his actual identity. Both characters do grow a ton in the book but their insta love is where it fell a little short for me. I was good with them at the end but the beginning was slow for me.

Overall this was a fine addition to the series and it definitely brings the angst! This book has the best friend time and I think that was something that was missing in book 2. I am excited to see how the series finishes up with Kincaid's story.
