I absolutely loved the hilarious prologue which was already at the end of the last West Brothers Book. So, I was really excited to finally read this story but it felt different than I expected, partly because it was not the fun and lighthearted book that I thought it would be. The story had a fast pace with Evan being hell bent on making Sylvie his, and since he was actually a womanizer I was slightly irritated how fast he changed his mind and only wanted her now. But I adored his sweet side and liked that he didn’t show off his wealth at first. Although it was a bit strange how Sylvie talked about it a lot later on but I guess that's normal when you are new to all that wealth. It felt very fairytale-like with all the things they did because of his finances and I'm personally not a fan of millionaires/billionaires in books anymore so this is obviously a question of personal taste.
Sylvie was a fun character. She wasn’t shy and didn’t care what others thought of her. I really envied her for her attitude and I liked that she didn't instantly give in to his advances at the beginning of the book.
Evan had a tough nut to crack with Sylvie, but they both had their hearts broken in past relationships so it was understandable for them to be cautious. His charm though won her over pretty quickly and it didn't take long for them to realize that they had found their other half's in each other. But were they strong enough to withstand the whirlwind of events that followed?
While I did like this story in general and really loved the family cohesion, it all just moved too fast for my liking which is also why I couldn't connect with the characters and their story as much as I would have liked. Let's see what the next book will bring.
