“All I’ve ever wanted was to not be alone, Ziggy. To have someone care about me like I care about them. Someone who won’t abandon me just because I want to be needed.”
As antagonistic and hostile as Hudson and Wilde were in Wilde’s End, Ziggy and Kennedy were the complete opposite and were absolute sweethearts. I loved their friendship and how well they understood each other. Ziggy may not have talked much, but Kennedy always heard him, and I loved seeing Ziggy become more comfortable and use his voice as they grew closer and closer.
Kennedy had a huge heart, and that often got him into trouble because he would go hard in any relationship and scare the person off, leaving him hesitant to start anything with someone new. But Ziggy spent so much of his life alone, he longed for someone like Kennedy to smother him with love and attention. It wasn’t a super easy road for them to get on the same page, but I loved watching them figure it out. They truly were so sweet together. If you missed the longing and swoon in the first book, this one more than makes up for it.
He’s filled all the darkest corners that I didn’t even know I had, and I’m scared and raw, but so, so ready for this.
I’m falling for him.
I never want to stop.
I also enjoyed learning more about the town and its residents. There was a bit of a mystery subplot, which was fun. There was a twist that I never expected, and it freaked me out a little when I realized what was happening. There was also some focus given to the relationship between Kennedy and his brothers, which I liked too. Those guys still have a lot of issues they need to work through. For the most part, though, this story was fairly low angst. I just enjoyed all the good vibes and romance Ziggy and Kennedy provided!
Ziggy knows exactly what my demons are, and I know his.
Things might not have started with a bang like I’ve always assumed romances do, but that was half of my problem. Trying to force something that didn’t fit.
With him, I fit.
And he never lets me doubt it.
