Review:
It’s stories like THIS that keep me coming back for more.
First of all, I knew from the very first chapter that this was gonna be a good time. The witty banter between DK and his brother, to Rayne aka Luna’s sassy internal monologues had me 😂😂
DK is absolutely everything. He’s confident but not arrogant, dominant but emotionally intelligent, and the way he supports Rayne without trying to fix her or diminish her power.. chefs kiss.. Now that’s a man.
The representation of self-love.. is very strong in this story..
Rayne learns to trust herself again, to own her body, her choices, and her worth. As a woman, seeing her struggle with self-acceptance and then watching her reclaim her power, especially in a world that constantly tells women to shrink, was deeply relatable. So many of us have been there, questioning if we’re too much or not enough. Rayne’s story speaks volumes as so many ppl are currently struggling with these same issues every single day.
The spice🔥🔥🔥.. Oh honey, this totally caught me off guard.. my man DK did NOT come to play.. I especially loved that he embraced HER sexuality.
The chemistry between them is absolutely scorching from jump!! These scenes weren’t just hot, every intimate moment felt earned and meaningful.
Rayne and DK are on opposite sides of their political campaign, both fighting for what they believe in. The way it all came together felt like I got behind the scenes look at an actual campaign.
Overall, this book is a must read. It’s beautifully written about 2 ppl from different backgrounds with different struggles fighting for what they believe in.. LOVE ❤️
After reading this, is what I found out that this was part of the series. 🤷🏽♀️ 🤦🏽♀️ Now I’m definitely gonna go back and read book one and the rest of her catalog cause yes!!!
