Awwww!!!! I’m so happy with this one!
Firstly, I really appreciate how Stacy’s emotions we’re dealt with. For some reason I’m seeing a lot of reviews that can’t stand how upset she was with Pashov, but it seems that people are forgetting she’s allowed to feel things too. She’s hurting because she feels as though she has lost a large part of her world, so it doesn’t shock me that she’s extra sensitive and touchy. Her mate nearly died! And with his memories gone, it’s almost like he’s not even there… She experienced trauma and is allowed to feel things because of it.
The first time they had sex, wow.. intense. But it didn’t shock me that Stacy cried. She’s still going through a lot… and sex is such an important part of their relationship, as with many, so to have that reminder that Pashov really isn’t completely there still… I could feel her heartache.
Seeing Pashov’s point of view was great. I know he feels lost and confused and I don’t think he was suffering just from memory loss. It was more like he suffered some brain damage as well… like his mother and sister and all the hunters trying to tell him how to fix things with Stacy and him being a little less than receptive… I think he was going through a lot more than everyone realized. Of course no one could know that though. He was hesitant, something that wasn’t in his nature, but with time he really started coming back to himself and gaining confidence in his relationship. But he constantly respected Stacy above all, even when he didn’t know what she wanted or how to make her happy, his only desire was to make her happy or at the very least not make her sad. Plus all the daddy moments with Pacy were fucking adorable.
