The. Feels. The way this one hurt. Brooke had me crying in the prologue. The way I love Waylon. Oh my heart. My heart broke for what he’s been through with Wilder and the way he’s always been there. Harlow’s story also tugged on all the heartstrings. But with what they’ve both been through, there’s an understanding between them. It’s like their souls recognize each other. Waylon tries to keep his distance–she’s younger, she’s his ex-girlfriend’s sister, he’s got his reasons. Harlow doesn’t think anything will happen between them, though she’s definitely crushing. Waylon & Harlow have a connection they can’t avoid though. Getting to know each other without knowing their identities, the sneaking around, the mouth on this man during their spicy lessons, the way Harlow knows what she wants to learn about and just asks her questions…it’s all so delicious.I love these Waylon & Harlow together and how much their families mean to them. I love that they’ve both got a safe space in each other. I just really loved this one, tears and all.

Def check the trigger warnings and be kind to yourself with this one.
