Florence Sadler is fed up. Behind her quirky, wild-child exterior, she cares deeply, feels everything, and is desperate to get out from under the shadows of her three older brothers to find her passion in life. After months of fruitless job hunting, she’s at the end of her tether. Then, an unlikely solution to all her problems blindsides her when her brother’s best friend offers her a job and a place to live. If only she could forget the mind-blowing evening they shared. Impossible, especially when her new boss makes it his mission to reignite her lost spark.

Dexter Moore has it all: a home, a successful business, loyal friends, and a loving family. The only thing missing is someone to share it with, a reality Dex accepted long ago. But when Florence struts into his life, a beacon of light he didn’t know he was searching for, he’s suddenly rethinking every decision he’s ever made. Torn between his head and his heart, Dex is powerless to resist the pull they’ve both fought for months.

Hot summer afternoons and balmy starlit evenings drive Florence and Dex closer together, and “one night” becomes the first of many. Their magnetism is undeniable, but will untold fears and decade-old vows end their future before it even begins?

Hands down one of the best books I’ve read this year. Snarky dragons, unique magical abilities, lovable side characters, and on top of all that, a badass FMC with a disability, and a MMC that literally wields shadows. Sign me up. Violet & Xaden are perfect. Dain is the worst, and OMG Liam, sweet Liam. (Sigh) I will forever be scarred by the battle of Athebyne. ❤️ The cliffhanger ending left me reeling, and I can’t wait for book 2.
