However, when I read it I still couldn’t give it a perfect 5 because of those few issues I had with the twist. I had some issues with it (more so towards the end) but it was a BEAUTIFUL story and the one couple I believed in their love & connection long before their official installment ever released.I really can’t put into words just how special their story is, but it isn’t without difficulty and chaos. ![]() I LOVED the ebook version of this book, Cole & Silver being my fave couple and delivering the best story of the series. ![]()
