When Cora’s brother goes missing everyone assumes he died but she can feel in her soul that he’s still out there. On her last night before going to search for him a stranger catches her stealing but instead of turning her in they have a sizzling one night stand in an alley. When she arrives on Aplana Island to start her search she realizes her new boss, Mayor Wolfe, is that stranger. Can she keep her focus on finding her brother or will her new boss be too much of a distraction?
Note: the first half of this book overlaps with the second half of book three. The art gala scene is present in both books and is where the timeline picks up from where we ended in book three.
Honestly shocked that I enjoyed this book as much as I did. I am not a big fan of standalone series because I get too invested in the couple from the previous book to enjoy the new couple but Sav writes them so well that I read two, three and four back to back and still throughly enjoyed EVERY couple. I think it’s helps that she doesn’t put the previous couples in the next books that much, they’re present but they don’t pull focus and make you more curious about what the old couple is up to rather than the current couple. I know some people love to stay in the same universe with different characters but I STRUGGLE to move on especially when the last couple is very much a part of the plot which tends to negatively impact my opinion of the next book.
I hated Alistar in Oaths and Omissions, I thought he was a heartless douchebag and the fact that he’s coming out near the top of my list of the men from this series says a lot. I love dirty talking, possessive, goes after what they want men and he did not disappoint. I hate to rank the men of this series because they are all fantastic and I love them each dearly for different reasons but Alistar and Aiden win by far in the spicy, dirty talk, makes my knees weak category. No shade to the other two, I think my favorite is actually Jonas, but those two make me feel some type of way with their words.
Cora was super cool and I actually like how twisted and connected this series has become. Cora is Violet’s cousin who is Kal’s half sister from book one. Alistar is Jonas’ brother from book three and then Jonas’ fiancee, Lenny, and Kal’s wife, Elena, will have their siblings as the focus of book five (I know because I cheated and looked). There are time jumps from book one to book four and the family tree, so to speak, is a bit twisted so I had to write it all down.
I’m also really big on knowing ages because I don’t mind an age gap but I prefer when the girl is at least of age to be mature enough for a significant age gap. My preference is when they’re out of college, so typically 23+, because I don’t think most grown men (35+) share actual commonalities with college aged women, no matter how “mature” they are. This is the biggest age gap with Cora being 23 and Alistair 36 so it was a bit of a push for me but it was a lot better than in book one where Kal started seeing Elena before she could legally drink. It’s weird because I find it a lot more triggering when there’s an age gap with a 20/21 year old than with a 23/24 year old. Which is why Kal and Elena’s relationship bothered me more than Alistar and Cora’s despite having a smaller age gap.
OVERALL: I loved this one, it didn’t rely on the other books to hold it up or provide drama to drive the plot. It had its own individuality and the main couple vibed really well together.

Popular Highlights in this book
“You’re building a pool.” I nod, threading my fingers through her hair. “Why?” Closing my eyes, I consider not answering this question either. Swimming has never appealed to me. The water leaves you vulnerable, which is why I’ve always simply avoided it. My lips are dry when they open again. “Because you said you like to swim.”Highlighted by 1,170 Kindle readers- The sudden urge to push her against a wall and ruin both of our lives hits me like a brick, and if I weren’t already seated, the force would certainly double me over.Highlighted by 827 Kindle readers

About the author
Arrived in decent shape
It arrived in decent shape. Has a ding on the corner of the spine and has a bit of warp to it. Also there's the section of the book that looks like it got left open on for an extended period of time, but there then that it's in great shape

Mayor Wolfe - that is all!

As always, we get a great balance of plot and some next level spice (pro tip: find a man who isn’t afraid to play with toys 😘). And Let’s just say this book definitely starts with a bang 🤭
Let’s be honest, we all love a man obsessed 😍 and to say Mayor Wolfe, the ruthless hunter, is obsessed with our girl Cora would be an understatement. Our British, dirty talking mayor may just be my favourite MMC in the series so far 😮💨

Alistair and Cora’s relationship was absolute 🔥 from the get go. His darkness, her sass and the tension and chemistry 🙌🏼
“𝑰 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒔—𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍-𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒄.“
The plot was good, I predicted the plot twist pretty early on but it didn’t take away from the overall experience of reading this book!
And unsurprisingly I loved catching up with some of our favourite characters from the series 🥹
And honourable mention to the real star of the show - Laurel 🐕🥰
