But I should’ve paid attention.

I’m not ready to lose Lincoln or my brother.
But I can’t keep them if I’m locked in a prison cell.

My Review

4.5 What a ride Stars

OMG what a ride. This book had me all over the place with all the twists and turns Grahame Claire hit me with. Lexie and Eric's backstory broke my heart. It really helped me understand were Lexie was coming from and soften me a bit towards her. Lincoln was a shining star for me. I loved all the different sides to him. Lincoln had real growth in this book. Really both Lexie and Lincoln developed a lot as the story went on. I love how deep Lexie and Lincoln's relationship goes.

Eric stole my heart in this book. I adored every single moment with Eric in it. I loved getting to catch up with past favorite couples. Beau omg Beau and Cal....... I can't wait for their book. The tension between Beau and Cal OMG. This book was really action packed. There was so much in this book that I was on the edge from page one to the end. Never a dull moment. I still can't stand Lincoln, Beau and Teague's dad. I don't know what evil scheme he was cooking up, but I'm sure we will find out in Beau's book. Overall this book was so good! I can't wait to see what Cal and Beau bring to the series.

The Blurb:  I have it all.

As a titan of New York City real estate, there’s nothing out of my reach.

Money. Power. Success.

The rise to the top wasn’t easy, but I’ve overcome every obstacle in my way. Including the biggest one.

Then I met her.

She isn’t afraid to put me in my place. Doesn’t tip toe around me because of who I am.

And she’s there to witness the most humiliating moment of my life.

The thing about being on top is there’s a lot further to fall.

Someone wants to see me lose everything.

And they just may get their wish.

Because I can’t focus on anything except my sister’s best friend.

My Review

4 OMG That Ending Stars

I have wanted Lincoln's story since Crash & Burn ended. He was just so closed off and mysterious. I couldn't wait to get to know what made him tick. I loved Lincoln just like I thought I would. I also really loved Eric he stole the show for me. The relationship between Lincoln and Eric was so cute and heart melting. Lexie was a bit harder for me to warm up too. I could understand were she came from but at times I felt she was too judgy and a bit harsh on Lincoln.

I need to say that I hated and I do mean hated both Lincoln and Lexie's fathers. Other than the fathers I loved the close family inactions. The plot for the most part was really good, though I really needed more romance. This book was a total slow burn, just a bit too slow for me which is why I gave it a 4 star rating instead of 5. The ending of this book. OMG why do you do this too me Grahame Claire?????
