Just when I thought I couldn’t love Gideon more, this book proved me wrong in the best possible way. His protective, totally smitten side is swoon‑worthy, and the slow burn here is chef’s kiss—the kind that keeps you grinning, kicking your feet, and savoring every tiny shift between them. The banter is sharp, the tension is delicious, and watching his walls come down made my heart ache in the sweetest way. And that ending? Wow. It’s emotional, surprising, and so perfectly set up that I was so glad I already had book 3 ready to go because I dove straight in without even pausing. This book feels so fresh, fun, and emotionally rich, and is an absolute must‑read for anyone who loves a good slow‑burn romance.
