"For reasons I can't quite explain, I want him to show me the parts of himself he keeps hidden. I don't want his patience. I want to be the one he loses his cool over."

This was such a perfect book! It had a balance of everything right from romance, angst, family bonds and some emotional elements. It was clear that Xavier & Sierra were always meant to be and the way they loved each other so deeply was very delightful! Xavier wasn't perfect but it was so nice seeing him fight to be the man Sierra deserved. His character had so much depth and it was unexpected. Sierra was just perfect the way she was. She had the capability to make decisions for herself and stood firm on her beliefs which made her a perfect match for Xavier. Also, I appreciated Xavier's family so much and I was so glad that Sierra got the kind of relationship she wanted with her in-laws! And ofcourse I was ecstatic to see the Windsor family again! Every single side character was striking (especially Xavier's brothers) but Valeria particularly intrigued me the most and I cannot freaking wait for her story! Overall, I really loved this book. It was long but I couldn't put it down until I finished reading and I still felt like I couldn't get enough of Xavier & Sierra.

I received an ARC in exchange of an honest review
