Thank GOODNESS. Gratified to say I can now mark the book directly preceding this one as the only bad egg in the bunch for me and continue onto the latest book in the series with gleeful anticipation (almost caught up!)
The mystery and the shenanigans were engaging as always, but it was definitely the personal growth that made this book in particular satisfying for me. 1/?
It's the perfect backdrop for Veronica to grapple with the idea of vulnerability and trust in a relationship, the fear of heartbreak but also losing her independence, without even considering marriage 3mo
It still feels like a rarity to have healthy communication and an emotionally available male love interest which made Stoker's clearly expressed feelings about Veronica and what he needs from her emotionally to continue an intimate relationship, so refreshing. And the subsequent 'your turn to woo me', endearing and steamy by turns.
P.S. Always love when the story has a good bit of Tiberius. 😁 3mo
