REVIEW:
Definitely not my favorite in the series but still a worthwhile read. I think this stems more from me not gelling with the relationship dynamic and the drama as opposed to a dislike of the story.
So Brendan and Ryan have a Daddy/Little relationship and this just isn’t my cup-of-tea type of kink. Also Ryan was I believe 20 in the story and the 20-some year age gap between him and Brendan kind of gave me the ick. Past that Brendan was tender and caring toward Ryan, giving him the much needed love and attention that he was desperate for. Ryan, well for much of the story Ryan was a hot mess; between the stalker, trying to navigate a fated mate, school, a job, etc. he is your typical college student, overwhelmed with life.
And speaking the stalker situation, it took way too long to play out. I think the drama with the stalker really took away from the romance in the story. I was well past the 80% mark in the book and we still didn’t know who said stalker was. When the whole thing played out, it felt very rushed and the story ended shortly after. I wanted more fluff and the characters actually enjoying life after so many months of living in terror. In all honestly, I was more interested in a potential relationship between alpha Gabe and omega Asher than I was any of the main character drama.
And also as with all of Raiven Matthews books, the inner monologues drag on forever and contribute nothing to the story, so I started to skim them and just move on to the dialogue or next scene. *whispers, please get an editor to refine these scenes, the story could probably be 50-100 pages shorter if that was done* Okay, off to book 4 I go.
