I had no clue that this one was going to become a series! I love Until I Get You, and Contreras was one of the big reasons why I wanted to go to Sweetgrass. So of course, I had to read this one as soon as it came out. When I initially finished reading the book and still fresh in my mind it was wild and unexpected. It definitely followed Until I Get You vibes. There were a lot of WTH moments, and it was hard to put down. I didn't want the tension between Josslyn and Finn to go on longer because once they decided to be together things just kind of simmered and I missed the tension.
