Somehow, I missed the notification that this book was out until I saw the release of the boxset. I have NO idea how I missed it because I have been waiting for Luca's story for what feels like forever. It wasn't but considering the moment that I discovered this writing duo and this series I binge read them faster than just about anything else that I have ever read. It is THAT good. Now, I digress, This book was even better than I had been expecting. How is that even possible?

Luca, sweet Lawd, this man. His mouth, his broken damaged parts, and his instant combustible smoldering connection with Frankie. And speaking of Frankie, this girl was crazy but in all the right ways, not in the sleep upside down batcrap sort of way. She was sweet, she, too, was broken, but holy hell was she a dynamic force. These two truly were the epitome of serendipitous. And steam? sweet holy hell. This is one time that I would have been happy to have even MORE of it. The story was perfectly balanced with appearances of the previous characters that I have come to love so much.

I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing writing duo. I cannot tell where one leaves off and the other starts. I just know that they are magic. So many amazing quotes in this story, (and no, even though I am dirty birdy, they all were not sexual) that touched on my soul. This is a story that showcases the reason that love is so powerful. Even though it can hurt, it's healing powers are even stronger but ONLY if someone is willing to take the risk. ( )
