phew, holy hotness! Wait until you get your hands on Drew. I am in love/lust! Just call me Mrs Massey...!
This book is hot. Like of the charts hot! But it is so much more than that. So very much more.
Okay, so I will go back to the beginning when we first met Maggie in Post Breakup Sex. I didn't like her then and with each passing book my dislike grew. It is a testament to Sibylla Matilde that she can make you feel like that way towards a very minor side character throughout the series.
Drew has always been quiet and unassuming and I couldn't wait to see where Sibylla was going to take him in his own book.
Right at the beginning Maggie delivers a devastating blow that leaves him broken. (Did I mention my dislike for Maggie? Well now that dislike has intensified!)
A bottle of tequila and half a tattoo later, in walks Raven. (I like Raven.)
Raven is quiet, observant and strong, with a unique style that she is able to hide behind. They have chemistry. They have a connection (not like that! Well they do but.... you know what I mean!) and they have an understanding. Only, the understanding is what, ultimately, causes confusion.
Raven is a distraction from Drew's pain caused by 'Malicious Maggie' but soon it becomes apparent that it wasn't just his heart Maggie broke. It was so much more.
Seeing the broken heart from the guy's point of view is refreshing. You feel how Drew slowly, but surely, puts himself back together, with Raven's help. You sense the realisation of everything, finally dawn on him. You watch as this quiet and unassuming character develops into someone who is confident and comfortable in his own skin.
I absolutely love this story. Drew is definitely my favourite of the series so far. Thank you Sibylla for an outstanding read.
