Holy fucking shit. Rae blew my freaking mind, broke my heart, stomped on it while I cried and then pieced it all back together again. She is a fucking phenomenal genius.
Mac and Jordan. Jordan and Mac. 𝘝𝘪𝘥𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘺𝘳𝘰.
These two broken, healing, idiot boys have my whole heart. Their story was phenomenal, spanning years and growing in the most perfect way that worked for them. (For my own sanity I wish they'd have figured their shit out sooner but idiots be idiots 🤷🏻♀️).
Rae is one to watch, because I know whoever she has planned next will 1000x more amazing. Consider me your top fan from now on girl 🙇♂️ 🫶🏻🙌🏻

Lance blew me away with this one! I didn't know what expect going in. We didn't see much of these characters in the precious books until we saw them - IYKYK - so I was anxious to see how Benji & Bennet healed and moved forward.
It was sweet and unhinged and dirty and cute all mixed into one 💝 I loved getting to see The Bens as indivuals, watching them grow and move forward while also rediscovering themselves - both separately and together 😏 Nate is just the best, most perfect match for The Bens, he fills a spot in their lives so completely and cares for them so much, it makes my heart happy 🥹
One of my favorite parts is seeing Nate and Benji, Nate and Bennet, Bennet and Benji and them all together - how they help and love each other. I also loved how no one ever felt left out or like the third, that's always my concern in MMM books, but Lance did it perfectly to where thay never happened.
I would absolutely LOVE to see more of The Bens and Nate, but I'm also excited for Murder Daddy 4! 🤭

This book was perfect for a quick, spicy read! I really enjoyed Zane and Ryan's story - idiots to lovers is the best to read! Definitely will be continuing the series!
