Mark your calendars for May 17th!

This book was so much fun to read!

"I have no problem being her monster; watching her from the shadows happens to be one of my favorite activities"

Jillian does it AGAIN! This book was so different than I'm used to her writing. It was jam packed with suspense. Although, she kept to her remarkable way of writing such a well rounded pack with the perfect balance of fluff and banter.

I absolutely loved Annika and her pack. I'd have to say I definitely had my favorite pack memebers! But I fell in love with each character for different reasons.

I utterly adored Sparrow/Annika! From the very first chapter, I was sold on her character. She was badass and had no problem taking care of herself.

“You needed to prove to yourself that you could do it alone, and you have. You made a life for yourself. The only thing I did was keep you safe while you built that life. I don’t want to control you. I want to be your partner in crime.”

Grady was completely unhinged! I laughed so many times at the things that came out of his mouth!

"You’re very good,” I reluctantly admit.
“Thank you,” he says, giving me a cheesy smile. “I like to think I do a pretty good job at faking being normal.”

Ward was definitely a favorite of mine. The way he took care of Annika and made sure she had everything she needed without controlling her had me swooning!!!

I loved Cassian's character from the start! He was such a smart**s and the banter between him and Annika was top tier! I didn't think I could love his chapter more until he started really following his feelings for Annika!!

Every pack needs an incredibly protective alpha and Kane was definitely it. All the pack members were protective. But there was just something about the way Kane protected Annika. Their verbal sparing made for such an incredible led up one epic spicy scene!

I really can't get over the balance this pack had! And how well they all fit together. Jillian did an incredible job intertwining all their personalities!

“I’m pretty sure this is how guys become best friends. You saved my ass last night, but I covered yours tonight.”

*Did we just become best friends?* was the only thing that I could picture during this scene. 🤣

And Grady's nickname for Ward was hands down one of my favorite parts of the book!

“I’m digging that look, Anni Girl. Feel free to borrow Granddad’s shirts any time.”

Seeing all the characters in her other series come together in this book was so flawlessly done! Jillian really did an incredible job, including everyone, and getting us so excited for Ranger's book!!!!!! I can't wait!

I also can't wait to dive into the other books in The High Rollers series. It's pretty cool to see all my favorite omegaverse authors coming together for this series.

"It took a whole lot of windy roads to get here, but it was absolutely worth the journey."
