i love having her at my command. to win the attention of a woman like this would be a man’s crowning joy. to win her devotion, his absolute triumph. beauty is fleeting, but her fire and brilliance, her indomitable spirit and fierce intelligence behind those captivating eyes – now that’s what drives a man to his knees.

 

i always have a great reading experience with these books, and i do believe every time a new installment of the series comes out they keep getting better, but this one was by far the best. it’s no wonder, the story felt a bit reminiscent of some of my favorites. yet, what made it stand out was the fmc. which might sound a bit redundant, given how i rave about the female leads of this universe every single book, but isabella was everything; the author fully reached her potential and not only gave me another badass fmc, but she was ruthless and unhinged, exactly my type. her thought process was so enthralling, albeit unreliable at times, which i loved, and a testament to that was the fact that i wouldn’t have mind in the least if the entire book was written solely through her pov. however, i did fold for lev, out of all the brothers (except the last one that’s getting his story next) he’s my favorite, just like his girl. they’re the definition of power couple.
