The truth is that I enjoyed this book a lot for the most part but a had a HUGE problem with one thing in its plot.
It's obvious that Ace and Remi have chemistry there's no doubt about that but, let's face it, they were a bit toxic together. Even Ace thought that:"[...] the way I feel about you isn't healthy."
The thing is, as I said in my review for Taunt Her, I loved that Remi had a backbone and that's what saved the day for me. Even though she loved Ace she didn't immediately go back to him. She made him to tell her everything and she forced her rules. It's just thing about fiesty and independent heroines that I love...Ace has to realize I don’t need saving. I don’t want a bodyguard to fight my battles. I want a partner. An equal. I want someone to stand at my side and fight with me.
Yes girl!!! 💪🏻
Ace tried to make everything right for her, he even found a new job to make money (thankfully, legally this time...) and he regretted what he did even though it was not entirely his fault that eveyone saw that video (well, it was his fault to take that video in the first place but I'll talk about that later...). I liked that he tried to change, not because Remi wanted that for him but because he wanted to be a better man.
Let me talk about the plot now (it could contain spoilers). The whole thing about the revelation of who is Ace's father didn't impress me, like at all. I thought it was totally obvious who their father was after reading the first book. Was that supposed to be a plot twist? Am I the only one who guessed that? Although, I must say that I didn't expect the plot twist in the end so that's a plus.
Having said all these, you'd expect me to give this book a higher rating and I totally would because for the most part this was a 4-star read for me (it could have been even a 5-star if there wasn't that non-plot twist). The thing that made me lower my rating is the way Ace decided to take revenge for what Michaela did to Remi.
I'm really interested in reading Cole's story (and Conner's of course but I have a feeling that I'm going to fall too hard for Cole) but I'm going to wait for a little bit more.
Just a note, if you want to read the scene from the night in the pool house from Hadley’s pov there's a link at the end of this book's epilogue (warning, it's 🔥).
(random quote I loved and wanted to share with you)
"Family can be hard. But at the end of the day, they’ll be the ones who are there in your darkest hour. Trust that they’re doing the right thing, whatever it may be.”






“Fuck, Remi... fuck,” he breathes, as I slide his cock over my clit, teasing us both. “You’re going to be the death of me, baby.” Ace grabs my hands and pins them above my head before driving into me in one smooth glide. We both cry out as he stretches me. “Jesus,” he chokes out. “It feels... God...” My legs anchor around his hips, urging him to move, and he does. Strong, powerful strokes that I feel all the way down to the tips of my toes. Ace curves his hand around my throat, pinning me to the mattress. He’s everywhere. His tongue pushed deep in my mouth, his big body pressed up against me as he grinds into me, filling me with every thrust. My hands fight against his hold, desperate to touch him, to feel his muscles ripple beneath my fingers, but it only makes him go harder. Faster. Until I can barely breathe and my vision starts to blur. He isn’t making love to me. He isn’t fucking me. He’s branding himself on my soul, carving his name permanently on my heart. “Ace, it’s too much,” I whimper, completely overwhelmed by the sensations he’s unleashing on me. “Ssh, baby.” His mouth is at my ear, his words a hot growl. “I’ve got you.” He releases my hands, letting me grip his shoulders as he begins to ride me slower, deeper, until I don’t know where I end and he begins. My legs fall to the mattress, letting his pelvis bump against my clit, sending bursts of pleasure racking through me. “You feel so fucking good.” He murmurs the words, painting them onto my lips with his tongue. Our kisses grow frenzied. Hot, wet, dirty kisses as we both race toward the edge. “You ready to come for me, Princess?” I mewl some inaudible reply, my heart hammering inside my chest as Ace hooks his arm underneath my thigh and grinds into me at a new angle. “Fuck... Fuck...” I chant like a girl possessed, a girl ready to sacrifice herself for the cause. “I’m close,” he rasps, “I’m so fucking close.” Without warning, Ace pinches my clit hard and my orgasm hits, my pussy convulsing around him as he continues to pump inside me.
