I am def surpised how much I liked this book. I think this book book should def be read closely with the first book in this seeries. I think I enjoyed the main characters in this book a bit more and was more a fan of romance because it was friends to more and i loved seeing all the hathways again!! I also loved that we got random pov of the other family members. This was a def a steamy read but had a nice plot balance!! def excitefd for book 3 ( )

Maybe it's because I had high expectations for this book since being introduced to Win & Kev in the prequel, Mine Till Midnight, but I was thoroughly disappointed. In MTM, Kev is gentle, protective, a problem-solver, and somewhat territorial over the whole family. In this book, he rages and is constantly at the end of his fuse. He's always ready to beat someone up, making him no better than the antagonist of the book. Really, there's no difference only that the antagonist is sneakier.

In fact, I'm surprised Kev is the hero. He's emotionally abusive. One minute, he's kissing Win and the next he's stomping out the door. One page has him scaring away her suitors while another has him vowing that he'd rather see her marry someone other than him. Seriously, I wish romance authors would stop glorifying men who threaten to kill anyone who looks at their woman funny. It's not healthy, but the author passes off Kev's obsessiveness as remnants of his abusive past. However, one of the other characters points out that he's lived twice as many years in an affectionate household as he did in an abusive one. He should've grown out of it. You can even tell his darkness wasn't even that strong because all the other characters were able to talk him out of his stupidity.

This was also frustrating. Kev just did what the others told him to do instead of grappling with his own emotions, prejudices, and traumas. He's not a three-dimensional character. He's basically a villain's lackey. I felt bad for the antagonist because he astutely recognized that Win was being manipulated while everyone else was telling Kev what to do. Blegh. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
To Shelia Clover English, a beautiful, kind woman who has so many gifts and talents. Thank you for turning my words into little works of video art, and even more for being a wonderful friend.
First words
Win had always thought Kev Merripen was beautiful, in the way that an austere landscape or a wintry day could be beautiful.
