“Believe me when I say this, Francesca.” God, just the sound of my name sends tingles shooting through me. “I have never used my status to get any woman. Not when the only woman I’ve wanted is right here in front of me… Don’t ever doubt me, Frankie. I’ll prove you wrong every time.”

Although we still have the novella conclusion of this series, I wanna say how much I loved this book as a romantic conclusion to this world. Building on the world she created, Emily gave us so many scenes with witty banter from these characters (chapters 7 and 20 are my absolute faves), I practically giggled my way through this book. But there were a couple of surprises, several intimate scenes (I mean, you don’t have a book focusing on a forbidden affair without bringing the spicey spice), and tons of heart. Plus, the team travelled to London for a game, so we got some change of scenery goodness, too!
This book had a little bit of everything and I really liked it. Knox has been a character that I’ve maintained interest in throughout this series because his sarcastic, seemingly rough exterior alluded to much more laying underneath the surface. This book felt different from the rest because of Knox: raised by strong women, in love with a strong woman, tender underneath an intimidating exterior, and a wicked sense of humor. And Frankie, a woman excelling in a male-dominated field, is lovable in her own right. For a strong man like him to find his perfect match in a strong woman, felt cosmic in some manner and made the book even better.
