“To everyone whose favorite color is morally gray.”
Give it up for Stella and Christian. The butterfly and her brooding protector. I will say I have a soft spot for Ava and Alex, since they were the first in the series but I think this one was my favorite in the series. Christian was obsessed and protective, perfect book boyfriend material. I did think it was a bit long, but I understand the need to round out the series as well as possible, which was done well. Stella was the most relatable twisted girl to me, and therefore I felt the most connected to this story. Some of my favorite scenes were when all the couples reunited for parties and events. Some parts dragged a little in the first few hundred pages but the slow burn was slow burning. I cannot be mad at that. Overall, no matter how many romance books I read, my twisted babies will always have a place in my heart.... Christian and Stella for the win.
“Careful, Stella.” His low warning pulsed between my legs. “I’m not the gentleman you think I am.”
… My reply fought it’s way past my dry throat.
“I don’t think you’re a gentleman at all.”
A slow, lazy smile tugged at his lips. “Smart girl.”
“I will always be here if you need me, no matter how far in distance or time. I don’t care if we’re on different continents or if it’s five, fifty years in the future. I never want you to wake up and feel like you’re alone because you’re not. You’ll always have me.”
