I'm taking a cybersecurity ethics class for my degree at the moment. It's the second to last course I need before I graduate. Funnily enough, I read this book during that class and somehow??? I think it helped with my learning, especially since we learn more about Quinn and what exactly his business deals in and what his company is all about. I'd consider gifting my professor a copy of this when the course ends but I doubt the CSO of my uni would appreciate something so smutty

Almost more enjoyable than the first book. Penny Reid deftly incorporates more serious elements, such as forgiveness or the day-to-day interactions that help shape a relationship. The Vegas trip cracked me up, and gave me more insight into Dan and Kat's history. Loving this series.

I seriously just adore Janie & Quinn! They have such an amazing relationship and this was such a fun story. I love how deeply they love each other

So, while I've read the first and second books in this series, as well as a few others interspersed and out of order, I decided I wanted to jump back into the series and catch up on all the ones I missed out on. So I decided to start with this one. Of course there were several times I wanted to go back and reread the ones I had read just because I might not have remembered what was going on or because I just wanted to relive their story now that I had this extra bit of story to go with theirs. The female narrator on this one really irritated me, she was so slow I had to speed her up. I'm sure it had partly to do with the character, but then when the male narrator, my favorite, Sebastian York, came on, I had to immediately slow the speed back down to enjoy his smooth, rich voice. Of course several of the people in the story are ones that are in the Winston Brothers series and I'm working on that series as well. Filling in the ones I hadn't read yet too. One thing I really liked and stood out to me was that bit about how the dress at the end of Pretty in Pink is just awful. Am I the only one who hated it? I thought I was, but this story makes me see that I'm not the only one.

Heads up: read this book after you read Friends Without Benefits. I forget every time.
This book had a decent amount of tension throughout even when you know the characters will marry in the end. I really liked Janie’s interactions with Quinn’s parents and the Vegas scenes were hilarious. Just as I wrote in the review of book 1 (this is book 1.5 in the series), I do not enjoy the term slamp or women authors slut-shaming other women. It’s an old and overused tactic to show why we as readers should like the main character, and it is unnecessary. Women need to lift other women up.
