MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD‼️
I have mixed feelings about this book. At first, I didn't connect with the characters, but by the end, I did end up liking them. That said, the ending felt rushed. How do we go from not knowing if they’re even dating to getting married in four days? It felt unrealistic. Cade’s mom was another issue for me. How Nic's dad still married to her after everything that happened is beyond me. That woman deserves to be stoned. I also felt there were too many loose ends or plot points brushed over, like the book could’ve been better if it had more time to flesh everything out.
Liam was another point of frustration. I love him, but as Cade’s friend, he annoyed the hell out of me. It seemed like he was one of those friends who ditch you when they get into get a boyfriend. Yes, Cade kissed him, but still, the way he treated Cade afterward just wasn’t great. And don’t even get me started on Jax—my heart broke for him. When he told Cade how Sebastian ditches him for Liam, it just made me so mad for him. The part where Jax jokingly asked if he could share Nic with Cade and Cade’s reply—“He likes his ass a little less yappy”—was just unnecessary and downright rude.
One thing I did love, though, was Nic’s obsession with Cade from the beginning. I mean this man was dropping lines like this,
"I’m making all the wrong choices where he’s concerned. Looking for him when I should be avoiding him. Trading shifts with coworkers so we work together, even if it’s only an hour or two. Staying at home, in our room all the time, hoping he’ll return like an idiot. Stopping the meds I probably still need just so I can come without knowing for sure if he even wants that from me anymore."
The miscommunication between Cade and Nic was frustrating at times. If they’d just talked openly about their insecurities, things would’ve been so much easier. But I will give the author credit for how Nic’s insecurities about his scars were handled. Cade’s actions—taking care of Nic’s scars without making a big deal out of it—spoke louder than words, and it was a beautiful moment that showed how much Cade truly cared.
This quote,
Cade: “Damn.” He lays down beside me, aggressively shoving hair off his forehead. “You look stupid when you come.” Nic: I watch him run his fingertips through the mess splattered across his six-pack, feeling all sorts of comfortable lying next to him. “Well, you look beautiful when you come.” He looks crazy in that moment—actually demented or dying—but it doesn’t feel like a lie to tell him differently. He is beautiful. Always. ...more

I started this book over a month ago and I keep putting it on hold. The smut was pretty hot at the beginning and I found the food play sexy af but as time went on I was just so bored by their dynamic that reading it felt like a chore.
___________ Reading Update:
Do you guys know when an author describes a smut scene and you’re trying to visualize what position they’re in? Well that just happened to me. How the hell did these two have sex in the booth at the club? I guess I’ll never know but it was hot tho ...more
This was entertaining at best. At least it's better than the other two books that made me wanna drop this series. Lets talk about Caspian and Rowan
SPOThis was entertaining at best. At least it's better than the other two books that made me wanna drop this series. Lets talk about Caspian and Rowan
SPOILERS AHEAD‼️
Caspian:
I don't know if I liked him or hated him coz look at what he said to Rowan,
"You talk an awful fucking lot. Anybody ever told you that before?" He chuckles. "Oh yeah, once or twice? "So, shut the fuck up."
Not cool bro. I know he's supposed to be grumpy but if somene said that to me the earth better open up and swallow me whole. And this is what Rowan says about his therapist,
"..she makes me feel like what I have to say matters. Like she wants to hear it all. She never makes me feel like a bother, or like I annoy her, like everyone else in my life does."
But at the same time this is what his inner monologue looks like,
"Rowan. The annoying fucking guy who I can't stand most of the time. The beautiful, sexy man writhing underneath me. The one I think about more than I'd care to admit. The one who somehow manages to chip away at my walls, even if only for a few hours at a time before I'm able to find my senses outside of his presence and put them firmly back in place... until the next time. The one whose lips taste like spearmint and longing. Whose eyes are endless, reminding me of the beautiful landscape and luscious pastures back home. Reminding me of an easier time. A freer time. When the world was still at my fingertips. Before everything went to shit." PICK A SIDE BRO
Another thing I hated is how he always messes up but Rowan is the one who apologizes and tries to save their relationship and that just mad me so freaking mad.
"Sex has always been the one way i can make people see how great l am. It's how I can make people feel better. Sometimes I can be annoying with the things i say, but my body... My body can make everything right again."
This was Rowan trying to think of a way to make Caspian feel good.
Rowan:
I really loved him. He is the first book character that I related to. Everyone with abandonment issues RISE UP!
"I don't know why I lied. It's something I tend to do often, without even meaning to."
Its alright girl I get you.
How can you not love this man after what he did to cheer up Caspian?!
"The mug is white with black interior, and in black lettering, it says, 'Introverted but willing to discuss Greek mythology.'"
"There would be days on end, sometimes weeks, when she wouldn't even get out of bed. Dad would bring her food, try to force feed her. He'd give her sponge baths, brush her hair, sing her songs. My entire life, I never saw my dad give a single shit about anything the way he did with my mom." - Caspian ..."When I'm feeling like shit or when I'm sad or having a bad day, a hot bubble bath always makes me feel better." - Rowan
He drew him a bath and bought him a mug!!! I need this man right tf now!!
I am still so freaking mad that rowan had to buy thirty concert tickets just to explain what happened to Caspian after Caspian freaking punched him. (He is filthy rich tho) Other than Caspian being so annoying somtimes i did enjoy this book. Plus the sex was amazing (Especially the forest scene and the morning after)
It's like whoever packed this bag for us, did it with the intention of filthy sex. Why else would there have been rope and lotion?
Who needs rope and lotion when going camping? ____________ Reading Update:

I liked this book a lot more than the first one. Two dragons find out they have the same mate and we all know that dragons like to hoard things and they definitely don’t share their possessions so how is this going to work? To make things worse Earnan and Nevin are enemies. Earnan's mother killed Nevin's dad and also poisoned him. So who will Ben choose as a mate the Ice prince or the fire prince?
To be honest with you I was kind pissed Nevin had to share a mate with Earnan coz I hated him in the first book but I grew to love him. The spice was kinda boring and I felt a bit uncomfortable reading the DAP scene but tail was so freaking hot....more

This book was good but I didn't like it as much as the first one. August and Lucas were great but I sometimes got bored reading it. just like the first book this is also insta love so if you don't like reading insta love then this isn't for you. I was looking for something fast paced and this delivered
I don't know how Lucas got his powers but I am here for it. One of the problems I had with this was the whole blood thing I don't know what the kink is called but it's not my cup of tea. it just made me so uncomfortable.
August was just so funny sometimes especially the part where he tells his brothers about Lucas,
“I think somebody knows about me.” [...] “we still need to take it seriously. What are you going to do?” [...] “I don’t want to hurt him… Not much, anyway. Just a little. I want to see what I can do…what he’ll let me get away with before he pushes back.” Atticus’s eyes bulged. “What are you talking about?” ...more

If you would have told me that I would rate a book that has feminization kink 4 stars I would have laughed at you but here we are. I hate when authors use feminine terms to describe gay men but it just worked in this book.
"I want to be the one whose pleasure is the focus, not the other way around. Why can’t I just lay there and take it? I am not at all a giving person. Give it to me, dammit. Give me all of the things. That’s what I want."
Am excited for the next books in this series. (view spoiler)[I know Cade. is a bit of a mess but that is to be expected when you find out that your straight crush is not only gay but in love with someone else (hide spoiler)]I can't wait for baby and Logan's book I need that one to be sexy af ...more
