Left without a job and evicted from the house she so carefully turned into a home, Aria is offered two choices: move back in with her brother . . . or take the job her brother's best friend offers her.

Their lives weren't meant to collide—but everything changes when Grayson realizes that Aria is the mysterious woman behind a wildly popular vigilante platform.

She's the woman he's been falling for online, the one whose coding skills outdo his, the one he's been trying to track down.

It's her. And she's off-limits.

White Tulips!!

This is a really compelling story. I love how these 3 bounded as a unit..they luckily made each other better individuals who helped keep their demons away!! But, the white tulips were the sign.

Slow burn and spicy

I feel like the overall story was pretty good, the dialogue was a little weird at times and just seemed awkward. Overall pretty good spice wise

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!

Not sure if I missed the trigger warnings or what but they were definitely needed!

Aria has experienced a tragedy no child should have to go through and has depended on her brother and his best friend to be her rocks and vice versa.

Grayson has been in the dark about his parentage and therefore has serious abandonment issues.

Both of their upbringings lead them to vigilante justice for those who have been wronged in life by the world and the justice system.

This plot was so different from any book in my recent memory. I loved the STEM aspect and how much was actually discussed and utilized in the story. It could’ve been a bit more detailed, but at least they actually mentioned skills and coding concepts.

For a while,I thought it was going to be a very simple A —> B story because I could not see where the secondary conflict would come in or the reasoning for the third act breakup (yes there is a third act breakup 🙃🙄). However, that conflict came in HOT and I didn’t expect it to be from that character’s background.

Some of the sex scenes from Grayson’s POV were too filled with “fucks” and “pussy”. Like I love those words as much as the next person, but it felt like he dropped one every other word for 2 minutes straight. Plus the way the narrator emphasized those words, really took me out of some of the later sex scenes.

The main conflict needs a 🚨warning, especially the confrontation in Chapter 54. My jaw dropped and my eyes welled. That was TRAUMA slapped on a page and the catalyst for the downfall and third act breakup.

Overall I finished this in one sitting because I just had to know how the cards unfolded. So far I’ve loved every Catharina Maura book I’ve read and plan to read more.

I liked the story

I liked the narrators. Good story, good ending. Kept me interested.nice turns in the story.

the story is great

I like the whole story. the characters are great. their lives brought together like that was perfect.

Good story and characters

Feisty leading lady, but too oblivious for too long regarding male attention. The overall story is terrific, but near the end too much drama from characters not talking. Still pulled off a good HEA though.

Amazing storyline

So so so good! I have listened to ALOT of books and by far this has to be one of my favorites. The spicy scenes were written so amazingly, but so was everything else. You could feel every emotion.

Cute best friend’s little sister

Really enjoyed this book!! Don’t really have any complaints other than it being 70 short chapters.. overall still loved it

Overall good story, the miscommunications drove me nuts though. Will definitely read more books from this author.

• Thoughts:
This novel was engaging from the get-go. I was completely captured by the story line of the main characters. I love the connection that both the FMC and the MMC have towards one another. The vulnerable side of the FMC is relatable and heartbreaking with how people treat her. I found myself in the books several times clutching my chest and wanting to cry for her, but no matter what, Gray was their for her, always. This book was extremely touching. I definitely recommend and plan to read more from this author.

Narration: Teddy and CJ narrated, and they were epic!
