***5 Stars*** Sooooo…I knew going in that sparks of all kinds would be flying between Kip and Fiona and that the frustration level would be high with the both of them when it came to the push/pull… But I didn’t expect THAT..That was like Whoa, k…hmmm…and that’s all I can say about that. As for Fiona and Kip. Regardless of “that” I adored them both.  Fiona is all kinds of feisty and doesn’t back down for anyone. Kip is charm personified, but they both have their demons, they both keep things close to the vest and they are both extremely stubborn. But they have an insane chemistry and when they let their walls fall, they find that they are actually perfect for each other. This was a wild ride. I really was not prepared for all that happened, but I couldn’t put it down. I NEEDED to know how everything would work out between Kip and Fiona because I liked them so much. As for triggers, there are some big ones, but they are necessary to understand who Fiona and Kip were and who they have...

***4 ‘Team Eli’ Stars*** Okay. Not gonna lie, my head kinda hurts from the whiplash these two put me through, but I will say that in the end, I did enjoy this chaotic, crazy, sweet, awkward, heartbreaking and heart melting story…but the head kinda hurts. Eli and Penny. I liked these two, I really did, well, I adored Eli and really liked Penny, but man did they put me through the wringer. Eli is a charmer, he is the self proclaimed player of the team, but he’s got his demons and despite his statements against commitment and anything deeper than friendship, the man does care deeply when you are his. Penny is a little bit of everything ~ sweet, snarky, awkward, shy ~ and I was here for it, but she had this one little tendency that kinda drove me batshitcrazy, so there were moments with her, but she was still a great person. Their journey to their HEA is legit craycray, hence the whiplash, but when they stopped being ‘awkward’ ~ and stopped having conversations with themselves in their hea...

Courtney and Bax. I adored Courtney. She’s got a good head on her shoulders, is sweet and snarky. She has her moments, but she’s just a good person who had her world shift sideways and is simply figuring it all out. Bax, I adored him, but he also drove me a bit batshitcrazy.
