Like all the books in the Loveletting series, Slave was an emotional rollercoaster filled with so many precious, vulnerable, tender, horrific, and memorable moments. We're taken on a journey to some of the darker parts of Mac's past and witness a softer side of him slowly emerge as Charlotte and Jesse weaken those stubborn walls of his ever so slightly. I lived for every single moment shared between him and Charlotte. In some ways, I felt like I was transported back to Haunt, watching two strangers discover each other. And when he would speak to her in his Irish ways? Ugh, my heart 🫠

“𝗧á 𝗺𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼í 𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁…”

As much as Tilghman made me laugh (that 'progressive' saloon scene: “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘺…𝘐 𝘢𝘪𝘯’𝘵 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘥𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦, 𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴!” 😂 I was wheezing as much as Roger), my heart ached for him and all he lost and may still lose. And a clean-shaven Marshal??? I need to see that, especially after Charlotte's description of a "wrinkled slimy snail".

Jesse remains my absolute favourite. He never fails to bring the biggest smile to my face - whether he’s tossing out insults, offering his inexperienced advice, grumbling about Mac’s cheese smellin’ boots 😆, or simply being his lovable, sweetheart self.

If there's one thing you can expect in this series, it's that Charlotte will undoubtedly find herself in trouble. The Armstrong mansion? I have no words for the horrors that lurk within! I can't wait to see what happens next. What a beautifully written and captivating book!
