Brynne said to trust her and you absolutely should! This book was such an amazing ending to the Ruinous Love Trilogy.
I loved every book in this series but THIS one had my little tarot reading heart doing happy backflips.
S&S are so cute! And the way the events of this book weaves through the events/timelines of the other books just brought the whole series together so nicely.
Highly recommend reading the epilogues and bonus chapter. You won't regret it.

Man this book was intense and will most likely offend any devout christian. It wasn't bad. It was actually pretty good but know your triggers before going in. Some parts of this book was super uncomfy as the consent was missing in some scenes where it really should have been explicit. This book also felt insanely long despite the fact that the story apparently takes place over only like a couple weeks. That aside though, it's really well written and deliciously dark. Still an overall good read.

Thirty-nine pages of straight tea and I was sat for all of it. Olivia's actions are justified. I said what I said 😩.

Tempt Me by K.A. Tucker
This is book 1 in a series, so it ends on a cliffhanger

This book was okay! Lots of cliche's - tiny, innocent, nieve FMC and billionaire playboy MMC. It's not earth shattering or anything, but it follows a simple plot that's well done and makes for an enjoyable read. It does get heavy into grooming territory which is not really my vibe - but given what the book is about, it's not surprising. All in all it was okay.
