I am absolutely floored.
I am and always will be a redemption girly and holy hell am I satisfied!
To be perfectly fair I was ready and willing to forgive this man the second he showed his angsty little face in SVS but I refuse to let that discount his earnest and authentic urge to heal. His intent was never forgiveness, and I know in my heart that even without forgiveness he still would have done everything in his power to right his wrongs.
Ophelia deserves the whole world and more and I just know that Augie will always fight to give it to her and vice versa. They had such an organic give and take that brought an amazing balance to their relationship as a whole.
Now when it comes to spice we all know that Elle will never fall short and this was just more proof to back that claim. A perfect mix of raunchy and delectable, every single time these two came together I was thanking my lucky stars that I was reading home alone and had no witnesses to see the puddle I became.
In the end my heart is at the same time completely shattered and yet filled with hope. I will gladly stab every asshole in all of providence, Saint view, and beyond for the next book to come tomorrow. (No pressure though... lets be real ill wait for all of eternity if need be)

This was amazing! I wasn’t sure about it at first because I’ve never been a big Augie fan but oh my gosh I love him so much

OMG! Brilliant work! I really wanted to hate Augie, but I couldn't. I forgave him in literally seconds in his first chapter. And the epilogue..... I won't say a word about it but just so, really!!??

I’m not going to lie to you, Auggie had a loooot of ground to cover with me because I was still holding a grudge from the Saint View High days. I was a little scared to get to his book. I didn’t think I would be able to enjoy it because I couldn’t get past his history with Banjo. That being said, I loved Auggie’s story. He’s still an ass, but he definitely came back for me from where he stood in Saint View High. I adored how everything in Saint View tied together here. We get so much more background on Ophelia and Vincent/Scythes family background.
Ophelia and Auggie bump into each other one night while Auggie is out searching for Fawn. It seems from that point, they can’t stop running into each other. All seems to be going well, until Ophelia gets orders to kill Auggie. While investigating her target, she can’t help but fall for Auggie. It was such a perfect enemies to lovers story line. The chemistry between the two was absolutely SMOKING. They were sooo good together.
What sold me on this book was seeing how much Auggie truly cared for his brother and especially his niece. Luna really brought the brothers back together with her love for both of them.
Elle managed to create the perfect redemption for Auggie in my eyes and I loved this journey so much.
I received an advanced copy for review but all thought an opinions are my own!

I already adore this entire universe. Well, anything Elle Thorpe writes, honestly. So it’s no surprise that I adored this one, too. I didn’t hate Augie as much as many others, but it was so nice to see him get the redemption he deserved. Ophelia was amazing. The first chapter alone had me on the edge of my seat (especially as a knitter, iykyk). And, of course, what Saint View book would complete without some crazy Scythe shenanigans? Luckily, there are several here to love. Gah, there’s so much to love about this whole book. Just read it already and thank me later. It gave me a massive book hangover.
