I was so disappointed in this part of the story. I knew she was coming back. And she did with a deadly vengeance. But I think I am most upset with Valentina than anyone else. These marriages and divorces are her fault. She should have been stronger and knew better from experience the first time.
My heart goes out to Freddie and her daughter. It’s hard to switch alliances and I am not sure if what Freddie has now will last. I don’t think Valentina is done. And I don’t truly think that Melena is the right one now. She wasn’t before and it just doesn’t seem probable. It’s about ownership, possession, and obsession. She hated to lose. She came back for what she once “owned,” not realizing that it was no longer hers.
This got too messy. I can’t fully blame Melena from wanting back what she once had, but at the same time, at what cost? It will never be the same. That ship has sailed. The one that made the brightest decision was Freddie. But she is also caught in that same vortex that Valentina found herself, still in love with her past.
Both Valentina and Freddie made all of their decisions out of love. Freddies’ for the love of her life and Valentina for both of the women that she loved. Her biggest problem was that she was unable tease out properly which one she loved more and should have been with. I think for the sake of everyone, it had to go down like it did, so when all is said and done, everyone will know what the best decision is. It will be with the one that is the…
I'm not sure if I am happy or sad about this story.
At first I was happy to read about Freddie and Valentina's married with children life. The more I read it was clear that the author want to go in different direction. I felt so bad for Freddie having to leave her child and divorce Valentina, but as I recall Valentina was very caring toward Freddie and then it changed when Melena came back into the picture and was pregnant. The marriage had become one sided where Valentina benefited by having both women. It was more toxic for Freddie because in some scenes Valentina would take Melena's side and was mean to Freddie almost abusive. I guess in the end Freddie got out of a marriage that was becoming toxic for her so I am glad she left and found someone that made her happy. She is still young. Though this was not the ending I was expecting which is the reason for the four stars. I would recommend this book, but with caution to readers.

The whole time I was like let the polyamorous relationship begin that was the only way I could see Freddie, Valentina and Melena working.The fact that Val wanted to be able to sleep with the both of them but not let them develop any intimate feelings for each other was very hypocritical of her. I'm glad that Freddie found Kendal I'm hoping there's a book three so I can read more about them.
Why did melena come back?!?! Ugh I’m so angry she ruined the happy ending Vivi almost had the family back together smh. I’ll do disappointed in Valentina when Freddie gave her everything she wanted and she still messed it up! I was hoping for a happy ending just not this one but still a good book
In total shock and did not expect the follow up of this amazing novel. The end left me with a loss as to what the main character had to endure. It surely can't end like this, hope there is atleast a 3rd book on the way. Still speechless ...
