I was really quite torn going into this book. I thought for sure I wouldn’t enjoy it as much since I really didn’t like Carina at all, but then I loved Garrett, so I thought he might push my enjoyment of this book to at least 4 stars despite Carina being a part of the book. I couldn’t believe how much I ended up enjoying this book. It was actually my favorite one of the series so far. Carina surprised me so much. I ended up connecting with her and enjoying the journey that she took in this book. It was a long time coming for her and it was really great to see the growth that she was able to accomplish after seemingly hitting rock bottom.Garrett, of course, was exactly what I expected him to be. He was such an unapologetic ladies man in the previous books, but you could see that there was more to him, especially when he was helping Brit and Hunter get together in Unafraid. His backstory really surprised me and I could see how it shaped him into what he had become. How could anyone trust love after what happened to him? And really, why would anyone with his issues find solace in someone like Carina who always seemed extremely high-maintenance and selfish.This book was really gut-wrenchingly perfect. I loved every minute of it, even when I still wasn’t sure I was going to like Carina at all. Melody Grace did an amazing job making me fall for these two characters despite my hesitation, just like these two characters fell for each other despite their pasts. I cannot wait to continue this series. I devoured the first six books/novellas in less than a week. I’ve got the next novella and full length book waiting to be read and I’m a little sad that I’ll have to wait until October for what comes next. Melody Grace definitely has a new fan in me and she will be on my must read list for sure.
