My review:

At first I was over the moon when I found chapters in Xander's POV and I thought we finally got to see intho his mind and the whole book would be in his POV, but sadly just a few chapter here and there - but i'm not complaining, I LOVED being in Xander's mind.

This book wasn't what I hoped for. It wasn't as dark and intense as the previous ones, and it was mostly about remembering the past and build a trust and love between them that is the strongest ever.

I missed "dark Xander" as much as Ben missed him. This light version who overthought everything he and Ben did was a bit confusing. While I got that he needed this change, I really, really missed the old Xander and his playful mazohicht side.

I still enjoyed reading this book, but it was like just walking while I wanted to run. 

I had tiny hopes that the end of the book I can hope for more Xander, but sadly, this was the last of their saga. It was an amazing journey for them and for me too. These couple of days I spent with Xander and Ben were everything. I found a new obsession, a new love (Xander), a new author - and I couldn't be happier. 

The ending was cute, romantic and hot. Typical Xander. Loved this series so much.
