This story had so much potential, but fell ridiculously short.

The writing is extremely elementary. A lot of the dialogue felt curt and events happened so abruptly. The interactions between characters seemed very surface level and lacked depth. I skipped quite a bit towards the end because I just wanted the story to be over.

Jax and Kennedy each had a lot of trauma, and honestly should not have progressed in their relationship as fast as they did. They are co-dependent and should probably fix themselves first.

Also, the reveal from Derek would have been mind blowing had it not been brushed over so quickly. Again, the writing in this entire book lacked depth. I think had the author taken time to actually delve deeper into conversations and actions, this book would have been much better.
