⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5🌶️🌶️🌶️ only a few sex scenes compared to previous books.
Loved this couple do much. Not too much drama 🎭 Wasn’t so much a workplace romance trope as the rest of the series but it did start off like that. Very few red flags 🚩 If any. Fallon is such a strong woman who has been dealt a hard life. I liked how the author included scenes where she was frustrated and angry and hurt, especially in her job. Proud of her for standing up for herself and for her worth, and not letting her boss/supervisor walk all over her like she kind of had been. Although the author did play into her insecurities, as expected, they didn’t dwell on it so long, like they typically would, which was nice. They also wasn’t a drag out on trust issues, while important, it can get tiresome. It did seem really soon after he kind of broke up and got heartbroken over Sydney to start a new relationship. I think he said three months which seems unrealistic. There wasn’t so much of breach of trust, and a topic of whether they can trust each other or not like it was in the previous books. It seemed to just brush over her insecurities almost like sure you have them, but it doesn’t matter which kind of unsettled me.
There was a show of healthy ways to cope with stress and uncomfortable feelings as well as unhealthy ways of coping. Mainly of avoiding.
I wish we got more of their happy ending than of just the night of the charity foundation gala. They just became a couple and we don’t get to see them grow and meld together in a relationship. Also, would’ve liked to see or hear from Hank’s opinion on them as a couple, & of his sister dating.
The author seemed to hint of something bad/troubling going on between Sam and Dakota. Dakota seemed to be depressed, and that there was trouble in their relationship. Nothing else or more was mentioned or revealed. Hinting of another book, possibly??
