Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an early copy of this book! Below is my honest review.

For some odd reason, I liked everything else about this book EXCEPT the romance, and considering that this is largely a romance book, that's not exactly great. I felt like the connection between Seth and Joley was largely physical (aka they just lusted after each other). I didn't feel the emotional connection between the two, especially since all Seth thought about was Joley's boobs. Joley was an interesting and dynamic character, but Seth was lowkey kind of boring even though he also had some trauma to deal with.

Aside from the romance, I liked the dramatic aspect of the plot. A little cliché, but I didn't mind it. I didn't read the first book in this series, but I enjoyed learning about the foster siblings and their personalities/flaws/etc. It's nice to shine light on the issues of the foster care system.

Overall, I would give this a 3.5 stars out of 5 stars. I wish there was more build up between the hero and heroine, but it is what it is.
