Demi and Rashad hate each other--don't they? Of course, they don't but Demi refuses to let her guard down with Rashad and he's too busy being stone-faced and unaffected to admit he likes her too. But now with danger everywhere, he's honor bound to protect Demi, whether she wants it or not.
I love a good antagonists to lovers romance. Demi and Rashad were lying to themselves and it was funny watching it trip them up again and again. Rashad as the unhinged brother played very well--he was my type definitely. Demi thinking she was going to get to have a boyfriend was very ill-timed on her part, lol. And his side plot didn't give me much, tbh. I could have done without it. Plus, the intrigue with the boys' business is kinda taking over at this point. I wish I had more Demi and Rashad by themselves.
The threat against the boys is getting more convoluted, and by this book I'm a little bored with it. I don't necessarily need the shock value of it all. But watching Rashad in action was decent. He really lived up to his persona.
