Jameson John Buchanan. Barbette Elizabeth Montgomery.
So. Freaking. Perfect.
I have been waiting for this book all year, so to say that I’ve built it up in my head would be an understatement. I have loved Jamie since the moment we met in The Peer and the Puppet and while I couldn’t say I was Bee’s biggest fan—or really, a fan at all, I knew BB Reid would play me in all the right ways to get me to love this girl.
And she totally did. Absolutely, 100% totally did.
This book has left me so happy, so overcome with emotion, and it blew any expectations I had right out of the water. I love Four and Ever, and I LOVE Lou and Wren, but my gosh... Jamie and Bee are so far ahead, they’re untouchable. Easily my favorite couple of the series and while I have a sweet spot for Vaughn, he and his partner won’t be able to surpass these two crazy kids. Bee is not only Jamie’s queen, but she’s mine too. She’s everything I didn’t know I wanted.
Barbette has been painted as this cold, impenetrable girl who doesn’t care much about the hearts of others, but boy that couldn’t be farther from the truth. This beautiful girl cares SO much, she’d do anything to protect those she holds dear, even if that means she’ll be hated because of it. She’s spun a web of deception, sometimes for self preservation, but mostly to keep those around her safe. She’s broken, scared, and doing her best to keep her head off the chopping block.
Jamie Buchanan is a wild man, mischief and troublemaking his specialties. He’s a heartbreaker, and while he may have been with many, there’s only ever been one woman that has claimed his heart. She might have broken it, but the pieces still belong to her, much to his chagrin. Their story begins in the summer as preteens, but ends up coming to head five years later as near adults who have seen more of the darker side of life than they should have. Their chemistry is wildly off the charts and you can practically feel the sizzling coming off the pages, but it’s the raw and real emotions that really drive this story. The hate and the tension and the fireworks that explode when these two collide is both beautiful and heartbreaking to witness.
I loved seeing Wren and Lou really being brought into the fold and welcomed as part of the crew, too. We see plenty of Ever and Four as well, which was great. Questions are answered, but more are raised as well. It’s full speed ahead as we look forward to The Prince and the Pawn, now.
But Jamie and Bee, my heart. You both own it.

This book was EVERYTHING. Each book in this series just keeps getting better and better. The unrequited love, sexual tension and angst had me hooked from chapter one. This emotional rollercoaster took me on a damn ride, I adore Jamie and Bee and if anyone is meant to be it’s these two.

Bee has been kept in a gilded cage all her life. Constantly having to do whatever her parents say, so when she overhears their plans for her Bee acts fast and enlists the help of her childhood best friend Ever. She’s knows it selfish to involve him but she doesn’t have a choice if she wants to break free from her cage. What she so carelessly forgot about was that in the process she ruined the one boy whom she’s been in-love with all her life, and he’s back. Back with a vengeance. And he has his sights set on destroying Bee once and for all. “𝙄’𝙢 𝙖𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙄’𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚. 𝘽𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙄’𝙢 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙜𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙮, 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙚… 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙩 𝙄’𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣’𝙨 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙙𝙨.” At the beginning I wasn’t sure how I felt about Bee, but she completely grew on me and I understood why she did what she did. She’s strong and will no longer bend to anyone’s will.

Jamie.. my god where do I begin. He was my broody, sweet, angry bad boy. He’s back in town with a vengeance set out on Bee. The first and only girl to crush him. Only what starts as revenge quickly morphs into something more.. is Jamie incapable of hurting Bee? “𝙈𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙄 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙙, 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙮 𝙛𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙.

He deserves nothing but happiness.
