Book 4 in Club Risqué Series, but can be read as a standalone, although I’d recommend reading the series from the start to get the most out of it. It was an emotional rollercoaster ride full up unexpected twists and turns. This book handles some difficult topics that could be triggering to some readers. So check those warnings. I loved this couple and couldn’t wait to read their story after we were first introduced to them in a previous book. Highly recommend.

I'm loving this series! I have yet to read a book in this series that I haven't wholeheartedly enjoyed! This, like the others runs in a parallel time to the other books, meaning that they can all be read as standalone. While there is some common events & sharing of characters, each book is very firmly focused on the 2 main from that read. In this case, it's Laurel & Connor, who have become familiar from the other books so I was really pleased to be able to get their story. And what a story! This book had emotion by the bucketful & dealt with some pretty unfluffy feelings & situations. Hope there is more to come in this series.

As I said in my review of the previous Club Risque books, nice guys in one book become jerks in the next, and Connor does this, though halfway through the book we find out it's because . And he does seem immediately regretful and works to help Laurel get through her own mental health issues. While it's not exactly the most realistic version of dealing with mental health issues, the characters are interesting and their relationship is ultimately fulfilling for both of them.
