Well i'll be honest...from the read up the story sounded like it was going to be about some spoilt brat who got what she want the entire story before something went wrong and the first twenty per cent or so was like that. Then we began to see a softer more vulnerable side to Sophie. At around 30% she's sent to Africa and things got really interesting.
As it turns out i really enjoyed it. It was a lot different to other NA books I've read hence the 5* review.

*Sigh* Dax, Dax, Dax...you turned me inside out a little with your internal torturing of yourself. Why couldn't you just admit how you felt?! Both of you, really! All the hurt and pain could have been avoided so easily.
I loved Declan's book and was fascinated by his brother, Dax, so of course I had to read it. I did enjoy it but like I mentioned above, it tore me apart a little emotionally. These characters got to me. They went through a lot of crap before they got to the HEA.

Its been a while...
...Since I read the first four books in this series but I know I fell in love with them and Riley and Denver.
So yeah, I'd forgotten a lot of what went on and it took me a while to get into this. But I'm happy for the couple.
P.S. I'm not sure if this book has been updated since I bought it back in 2015/2016 but there are quite a few missing/extra words floating throughout and I'm pretty sure Fayne turns onto Faye at some point.

If I'd realised that letters were going to be a big part of this story back in 2013/14 or whenever I downloaded this, I really wouldn't have bothered. I struggle to get into stories like that, and have only managed to finish 1 or 2 stories that have featured letters. I just feel like we miss out on a lot of vital relationship growth, though this did have normal everyday bits between letters. I just felt that time went so quickly and we weren't really getting anywhere fast in their relationship.

4.5 stars
What was with that ending? "Paradise is waiting for you." I really hope that's in regards to her getting a HEA in the end and not death because I don't think I could cope with that.
A proper rollercoaster once more. Loving some more Gods action, apart from that bit with Ares and Alex near the end. I wanted to murder him myself!
Off to start book 5! And hoping everything works out in the end for this lot and no more semi important characters getting killed off. Please...

Opens with the threat of sweeping, gorgeous spectacle but not long after just sort of settles for a collection of watchable action scenes - and that's fine I guess. You've still got Taylor-Johnson in tasty nut mode (complete with peculiar accent) and some dirty, brute violence that doesn't fully satisfy but comes closer than a lot of these outings usually do. Nothing special whatsoever and actually made me retroactively second-guess how good ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ actually was but you could do worse. I'm just tired of this rote historical B.S.
