Larissa Moyer has struck again (pun intended). How the hell did she work such incredible magic to make Dean—the character we all were against in in our hands— a likable, hot, daddy hero I couldn't get enough of? I have no idea. But damn, did I love this book. There were just so many aspects of this book that really did it for me. I feel like Moyer has just grown so much as an author, and it shows through the pages of finding more as she traverses some new shades of trauma through Dean and Amelia. Her characters are just so well-tuned and always feel relatable without feeling like they're trying to pander to readers. I am forever impressed and sucked in by Moyer's writing style, her words encapsulate my heart and make me feel everything and I absolutely love it. The romance element of this book took my breath away, and I found myself yearning to read more and more about Dean and Amelia and their joining. This strangers-to-lovers felt so realistic and romantic, I just couldn't get enough of it. And the smut—holy hell, the SMUT! It was fantastic, truly. I already can't wait to reread this one once I get my physical copy. There were definitely darker elements to this than in in our hands and while I adore both, I feel like they will sit beautifully on any shelf, together or apart. I can't wait for the masses to read this book and fall in love with Dean and Amelia (and Reggie and Otis and Evelyn and Ava) as much as I did. I cannot recommend it enough and I will probably not shut up about it for the next century. Also, have you seen this cover?! It's absolutely stunning!!! I cannot wait to own this book and parade it around like the beauty that she is.
