Artemis and Xavier

Loved the banter and the cuteness of this book. As usual, with Las’s books, I could not put it down. This series is to good and easy to read and fall in love with. In this book Artemis is living his life, plotting against his dad and doing lots of thinking about his life. Xavier is the happy guys, laughing and enjoying life. The energy and chemistry between them is high and the spice too. I’ve said it before, as a psychologist, I love that Las always have some point to discuss and address. When we are not good about ourselves we cannot be good about others. Facts!!! We have some interesting discoveries in this book, like who is behind Tabitha’s stories. 😵‍💫 And how families can get together and rally for each other!!! I loved reading this!!! Thank you Las for the arc. 🥰

Artemis and Xavier

Oh my gosh. This book was everything I needed it to be and more. I’ve been struggling to make it through books lately and this just sucked me in. It gave me all the feels. Giggling, sighing, wishing, wanting. I was ready for fight for Artemis and Xavier. And I’m so glad they both have strong families who did just that. They were what each other never knew they needed. It was sweet and wholesome and loving. So much truth and rawness. Laying out all the feelings. Perfect all the way around. I received this as an ARC for free. I am voluntarily leaving this review.

Great Finish to a Great Series!

Artemis and Xavier! I'm so happy that they decided to tell their story to Lasairiona McMaster! And what a story it is! This one is really emotional, all of the feels! I definitely yelled at Artemis multiple times. Xavier is so perfect for him. And the way the whole story wraps up the series is amazing. Favorite highlight: “From now on? If you’re going to run anywhere, you run to me.”
