3/24 re-read: Who was I when I gave this 3 stars?!? Asking forreal because I'm confused. This is my third re-read and this book is amazing. It's not *quite* HR and TLG levels, but damn if it's not close. Troy and Harris are perfection. I love Troy's redemption and how hard he tries to be a better person. You can clearly see what led him to being a jerk in the past and how hard he's trying to make up for it. Harris is just a ray of sunshine. He is so kind and bubbly and unapologetically himself. I love them together. And they're sweet little story? Obsessed. I love seeing Troy open up and just really blossom. I also love seeing how amazing the Ottawa team is overall. And Ilya, of course. But seeing the others from the past books is just as fun, too. And this ending is just so uplifting and positive! 3/5 spice levels.

Notes: villain redemption, grumpy/sunshine, family issues, past health issues, *spoiler* near death experience

3.5/5. I always love this world, but I was hesitant about Troy’s story since he hasn’t been the nicest. However, I quickly fell in love with Troy and Harris. I absolutely loved when Ilya popped up and it was fun knowing this story coincides with his next story, too. 3/5 spice levels.
