Just like with Unwanted, I really wish this was longer.
I did feel like this was fleshed out a little better than book one. I really did connect with Lennox, Samuel and Rhys. I think maybe the relationship moved a little too quickly than I would’ve liked but I did love them together.
I felt a lot more devastation from this story. I knew what was coming with Rhys, but it still hurt a lot. I loved the support they all had for each other throughout. It was quite a lot to handle for a new relationship, especially a poly one, but I did feel like their dynamic worked well.
I just wanted more. When it was over, I felt like it truly didn’t feel finished yet. I did love the little full-circle moment of all of their “one Mississippi’s” at the end. Hit me right in the feels.
Ultimately though, it just wasn’t enough. I’m still waiting for a Marley Valentine to break me like I always hear about. Still gonna keep trying.
The audiobook was amazing. Zachary Johnson is already a favorite of mine, but the two other narrators were new to me and really knocked it out of the park.
