Wow. This one is going to sit with me for a while. It feels like so much happens, but very little happens all at the same time because so much of it is mental/emotional. The Then/Now timeline Abby Millsaps uses in this series is a clever way to give us just a little nugget of information at a time. It's a glimpse into the past to help inform the present, but not so much that the fog fully lifts. It definitely kept me turning the page to try and figure it all out. If SO WRONG baited the hook, SO REAL set it deep, and Millsaps gives us just enough to let us know she's got more up her sleeve the whole time.
With the introduction of Kabir Spencer into the triad formed in book 1, we see loyalties tested and boundaries pushed for Levi and Greedy. We spend a lot of time learning where Hunter disappeared to in her grief. Spence believes he's riding to the rescue once again, but ends up dropping a bomb that will change everything forever.
The heat of the spice is definitely taken to another level in this book. Spence is a dom, and we get to explore Hunter's praise/degradation k1nk with his arrival. He was able to get her out of her grief and crumbling mental health in a way that tied them together deeply, and I spent a lot of this book trying to decide if I even liked him. I am won over eventually, but still want to side-eye him sometimes.
Overall, I'm dying inside again waiting for book 3 to rescue me from the artful cliffhanger at the end of SO REAL, and to learn about "The One and Only" who has been teased since book 1. 
Thanks to Valentine PR and Abby Millsaps for the ARC opportunity.
