6⭐️ Alright fuckwaffles, this was not Ali’s best work. It gave me 2012 wattpad written by 19 year old frat boy. The dialogue was cringier the normal and I did double takes every time jizzmuffin, shartstain, fuckwaffles, and testicles being described as wrinkly Christmas ornaments crossed the page. I also felt that the romance was lacking. It didn’t feel like Serena and Koen really got to each other, but rather were mates and shared a similar sense of humor. The low felt rather shallow. However, Ali somehow is able to write something containing the above words and I still ate it up? Like I lost sleep over it just to see what crazy saying she was going to throw in there next. I did enjoy it, as I am easily entertained and along for the ride, but I will admit it wasn’t her best work.

Even better than Bride! Ali knocks this one out of the park. She continues this world with Serena's story. And she does not disappoint! Who doesn't love a good slow burn fated mates with so many road blocks that you just don't think it will ever happen but you hope it will!!!
