On the back of betrayal and heartbreak, Tessa becomes more assertive and independent, chasing her dream and planning her big move to Seattle with Vance Publishing. But Hardin's all-consuming fear that Tessa will someday leave him, has his sabotaging ways pushing Tessa to the breaking point.

It is very THICC at over 800 pages or 24hrs on audio, and at times felt like a revolving door of the same shite. Some pretty messed up things go down in book 3 that aren't in the movie and just seem to be brushed off like it's another day, this just didn't sit right with me.

FINALLY, Tessa grows a spine and stands up to Hardin's BS.👏 But gosh, she did my head in so much in this book 🤦🏼‍♀️ This toxic relationship is starting to grate my nerves. But, I'm invested now, so morals be gone...
