Finished book 2 & 3 over a long weekend vacation and they both blended together so I’m just going to write a review for both of them on book 3.

I don’t really know how to rate this book because I hate it and love it at the same time

Oh that cliffy

4⭐️
This book picks up right where the cliffhanger from book one. We finally get Kage’s POV, and it’s everything—dark, heartbreaking, grumpy, sweet, and so much more.

Do these guys constantly jump to the wrong conclusions? Yep.
Is it packed with over-the-top drama? Definitely.
Are the sexy moments scorching? Oh yes.
Does it end on another cliffhanger? Of course!

And did I love every second of it? Absolutely.

So far so good, I like that the story picks up where we were left hanging from book 1. This book is about growing pains and what it takes to be in a relationship no one can really know about. Because Kage’s MMA career could be on the line.

There is some backstory we still don’t know yet and it’s very mysterious I hope it all comes out in book 3.
I love how much they both need each other even if they don’t really know that they do. I hope that makes sense.

I am 100% a fan of J. F. Harding, his gruff voice/smooth talking really brings this book to life. I can’t wait to keep going.

NOO NOT ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER! JUST NO!!!

I struggle with these two main characters. Half the time I want to hug them and the other half of the time I want to bang their heads together and tell them to stop being fu.. fudging idiots. The narrator for the audiobook is great, which helps a lot and the pacing is such that everytime I’m just about done with these assholes, something happens and I feel like I have to know what’s next. They don’t seem to have a particularly healthy relationship, but with Kage being as traumatized as he is, that’s not terribly surprising. I also suspect that the person who is supposed to be his psychologist and therapist is the one increasing his issues, which is so messed up I want to puke.

This series so far has me both infuriated and engrossed, which annoys me. I don’t think I even want to like this series at this point, but at the same time, I don’t think I can stop reading. I know there’s another trilogy that comes after this one, but I didn’t know that until I started poking around on the author’s page today so I’m annoyed that I still have more books to get through with these two. The third in that next trilogy isn’t out yet, so I don’t think I’ll pick the next set of books until after that one comes out. Especially knowing the way this book ends (it’s a pretty heavy cliffhanger, FYI).

I can’t say I like this series necessarily, but I also can’t seem to put it down.

3.75/5

I liked it but I prefer the first book of the series. I think the end made up for my lack of enthusiasm while reading the first half of the book.

Ni se que puntaje ponerle a este libro. Sinceramente no me está encantando, pero este MASSIVE CLIFF me deja con ganas de seguir adelante.

Dear KAGE, con tu POV confirmás mis sospechas:

Spoiler

sos un fucking manipulador y retorcido
