I enjoyed this story so much, but I still have one burning question that never got answered that I hope is followed up in Hunter’s story. Considering all the animosity between Hunter and the other siblings, if Hunter is so disregarded by everyone, what was the reason for Alex to give Hunter the heads up on what the three of them were planning?? Then, the question was asked if it was thought that Alex was trying to sabotage them and then nothing was brought up again about it from there. I am so ready for Hunter’s story, and I can’t wait to see what Laurelin has in store for him!
I love that the banter and humor never stops. And wow, the chemistry between Adly & Ax is smoking!!! These two see each other and watching their guards fall the way they help each other grow is beautiful. A fun and sizzling story with a lot of emotion and heart.
