Had me on an emotional edge
This book kept me on an emotional edge. I connected with Memphis to the point that I was in agony each time she faced a new challenge to her self confidence. She was carrying some pretty heavy weight on her shoulders and while Knox was willing to help lift it, I was cheering her onward to do what her soul needed her to do. There were times when her story felt like cuts across my own soul.
Oh my gosh, Knox was amazingly perfect in every way. The little bit of conflict in the beginning was like baiting a hook and I was taking it as fast as I could. When that conflict included his moments with Drake, holy heck, I was scrambling to figure it all out. While Knox wasn't insanely alpha despite all his gooey hotness, the epilogue showed a side of him that had me jumping and yelling for joy, figuratively, of course. I love the type of alpha protectiveness portrayed in the style here.
'He strode toward me, taking my face in his hands. "Then here's another truth. I'm going to take them. I'm going to take all of your bests. Every da--" one until you can't keep track of the top five anymore because there are so many bests that you'll need a hundred to capture them all."
"Promise?" I whispered.
"I swear it."'
This had a steady build up that made me feel twitchy, constantly waiting for the so-called "other shoe" to drop. The anticipation almost killed me. This was definitely one of those books that is impossible to set down and walk away from and had me reading late into the night in order to finish it.
