2.5 stars max

honestly, this wasn’t all that. i was bored during it, but i’m still going to read the series because it’s my friends favourite.

talon, i don’t like you and haven’t felt connected to you, same with jade. i just don’t have that burning feeling for these characters, but who knows maybe it’ll grow.

was so bored during all the smut. insta-love vibes are not for me and i don’t really like when characters will sleep together almost instantly. there’s not enough sexual tension for me, and i just get bored and cringe.

don’t get me started on the dirty talk - blue eyes? no (also ‘baby’ in books makes me cringeeee).

also, talon keeps talking about jades eyes and how much he loves them but also talks about how she has her mums eyes and he remembers seeing them on an erotic poster on his brothers wall???? this rubs me the wrong way sorry but it’s a major turn off and makes me sick

the smut wasn’t good for me. was bored during. but again, this is probably because i wasn’t hooked from the start.

my attention only piqued when the drama started popping up - the law side of things, the mystery, the family secrets - give me more of that.

also larry, weirdo, i’m putting a theory here that he’s probably one of the guys from talons past.

this is all personal opinions and this probably just isn’t the series for me, but i’m powering through to see how it unravels.

note to self: rose on cover = rose on pillow?
