Van Doren Book 3 |
I’ll paint this moment immortal.
Months of texting silly innuendos leads to the hottest moment of my young life. Instead of dealing with the moment like an adult, I ghost him for nine days. Just when I think I’m ready to face him, he’s on his way out to hook up.
I lose my shit.
Coming clean about past heartbreak isn’t easy. Navigating what I promise is a ‘no expectations’ relationship proves impossible - not just because falling for Haze Prosser is far too easy, but because I’m internally freaking out as two thirds of my brothers are off fighting brutal criminals, leaving me home to take care of my unhinged brother’s perfectly safe husband.
It’s all fine until Voss calls in a panic and needs immediate back up. I don’t have a choice but to drag Oakley and Haze straight into the heart of NYC’s mafia families.
Everything will be fine…

My Review: 5/5 Stars
For months, Imry and Haze have been sending flirty texts to one another. Teasing one another in so many ways until Haze finally snaps and is ready to see if Imry is serious. This leads to a very hot hook up between them…followed by Imry slightly freaking out and ghosting Haze for over a week. Not his finest moment, he’ll admit. But he is still scarred from a past relationship. Trusting others? Trusting himself? Not so easy. He hates the awkward tension between them and the loss of what was becoming an easy friendship. Haze meanwhile is missing Imry but he knows it’s not on him to make amends. He tried to reach out but it comes down to Imry. Besides, he doesn’t want a serious relationship or maybe any relationship at this moment. He spent his life unable to be himself and caged in a way that might not have been as bad as his brother’s but still not great. Now he has freedom. And he wants to know who he is now. And you can’t do that while in a relationship. Right? It takes the two of them a hot minute to make things not awkward between them and once they do they fall into an exclusive but no expectations relationship. Emotionally, these two are in a bit of a slow burn as they figure out what they both want but bit by bit you can see how great these two can be together. If they just let themselves. Really loved their story! It’s worth the long wait of them finding their footing to realize the feelings that are building between them. I loved catching up with familiar characters and meeting some new ones! I’m pumped to see who gets a book in the future. And of course, with any Van Doren story there is some crazy side things going on which means a little danger! Overall, really enjoyed yet another book in this series!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
