The beginning of the book felt like if Katee went along with making Desperate measure a marriage plot, but as I got to the middle of the book it felt like it's own.

I’m not sure if I didn’t like this much as KRs other books because it was my first foray into the Wicked Villains series or if I just found this one sub-par in general. I feel like there was so little tension built between the characters romance and literally zero pining or space for complex feelings.

I did like Tink as a heroine but it was hard to get a sense of who she actually was as a person outside of her trauma and relationships with “territory leaders”. I also super do not understand the world building and politics of this society at all— is this modern America? Is this somewhere else? Does nobody find it strange that there’s a man named Beast????? 

I did appreciate a much wider variety of sex scenes in this one— way more creative and interesting than Electric Heart and Radiant Sun for sure! I also love that everyone in this universe is bisexual, A++ for that Katee Robert!!

Really delightful read, and super spicy! Love a bratty sub and an easygoing, sensitive Dom dynamic. It's also a fun reinterpretation of the Peter/Hook story!

I especially loved that Tink is a plus sized woman, and this is all described beautifully. In fact, I do adore Katee Roberts for that as well, for the representation of different kinds of bodies. Doesn't happen enough! 
Also has some well-executed tropes (enemies to lovers, forced marriage).

5/5 for spice again, I smiled a lot reading this, though will say that a serious CN applies for an abusive ex (physical and psychological abuse, physical violence and kidnapping...)
