“See Sloane? You can wear someone else’s ring, but we both know you’ve always been mine.” 

This follows Jasper and Sloane. Friends since Sloane was 10 and who has always had a crush on the boy with sad eyes. Now she is 28 and marrying a man who is a business associate to her father. Jasper is not a fan of Sterling but will always be there for Sloane to pick her up when she falls. Will Jasper give in and be the man he wants for Sloane or keep holding his true feelings back?

I enjoyed this but it's not my favorite in the series so far. I love a broken MMC though with a past that is affecting his choices, self-worth and wearing his heart on his sleeve but starts to open up to Sloane. Taken in by the Eaton family as one of their own, like a brother was beautiful. Sloane comes from a good family but there is an expectation level with her father. I felt this story was about discovering true feelings with letting go of being held back by people. It was a fun read. I will say Jasper hits differently with the ring and crawl lines I get it now. The spice was delicious like always. Excited for Theo and Winters's story next!

The pacing in the beginning of the book is a little weird. So many things happen in those first fifty to one hundred pages. There were several scenes that struck me as strange throughout the book, like checking him out while he’s puking. Not my favorite read.
