Oh my goodness this book was so good! The characters, the storyline, the STEAM… just wow. I loved everything about this historical romance!

4.5 brilliant stars...

I loved this book... What an add on to the Phoenix Club series!

Max is a wounded beast while Ada is a strong person who has faced so many hardships and grown to be this beautiful person inside out. I loved both of them....

We get to see more of our favorite characters from previous books (and the MCs in the forthcoming ones 🤩🤩 - can't wait to read the next!!)

Spoilers ahead. Please do not read ahead if you haven't read the book...

<spoiler>
There are several triggers including a relationship with a married person. I am usually particular about fidelity and no cheating aspects. Max from the book is also a stickler to this. Though Ada wasn't the one who was cheating, her past relationship with a married person did worry me slightly. She would have been the ow there. But in the course of the story, it did not bother me. I don't judge her and I was in tears - rooting for her and Max..

What bothered me was - why did she not tell Max about it.
It took me a while to be ok with her not confessing fully. 10 hours to be precise (😜 don't judge me). So shouldn't Max have taken more time to come around this issue (🧐🧐😬 again pls don't judge me)...

The other thing that bothered me was - when Jonathan proposes to Ada, she thinks of Max only once - if we had felt her longing for Max more or maybe a clearer emphasis on her love for Max in her mind - I would have been more happier (it's just me I think 😁).

All said, I loved it and this might go into my books I read again and again soon 🤩
