Fast read. Fun read. Romance level was great. I somehow missed that it was based at a circus when I bought it but a little disappointed that there wasn't more circus material. The writing style could be improved but overall I will read the next one.

The author struggled with telling instead of showing. No build up or tension in the relationship. The side characters who seem to be the potential leads of the next book, were more interesting than the main couple. 

It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't recommend it.

lolo1797's review against another edition

I’m half way through the book and nothing eventful has happened just a bunch of sexy time which is fine. But there really is not plot going on considering I’m halfway through.
