I, Braxton Fawn, am the luckiest girl alive.Įvery so often, gods walk the earth. It is the perfect standalone read that leaves you dying for more books in this world. I loved that the characters were real and flaws and their certainly had their char of mess-ups. I swear I never knew what the next chapter was going to bring but I had an ending in mind and I would be damned If it wasn't going o work out the way I wanted. This book had the angst and the alphahole. It is one of those books that just compels you as you read and you can't help but get sucked inc chapter after chapter.īB Bounces between POV in this book between our 4 characters, and so even when you say ONE MORE CHAPTER, what you really mean is likely 4-8 more chapters, but really I just can't stop and need to finish the book. Like long and meaty and just full of everything. This is one of those moments that I tell you not to read the blurb.
