Super horny. Even with only two explicit scenes most of this book is focused on the main character’s physical desires. Despite that there is a genuinely interesting plot hidden somewhere in there. And characters with interesting histories and motives.

GUYS. THIS BOOK. I know I'm like years too late but now, I'm fully obsessed, too.

It is a tad long at times (as is all romantisch) but honestly, waiting for Hawke makes it all worth it 😉

The sexual tension these two have? Off. The. Charts. Like, even when

he's fully betrayed her but then he's bandaging her wounds

and it's just like?? Am I into this now?? Yeah apparently lol

Is the plot life changing? No, but you know what it is: FUN. I was fully out of my Romantasy phase and now I'm ready to jump in again and read about more broody dark-haired bad boys again.

Perfect read to end out the year <3

Holy shit this was a rollercoaster from start to finish!! I adore Poppy and cant wait to read more of her and her badassness. My old complaint is the age gap between the two of them other than that it was awesome!!

It was just.. ok. Not so bad that I had to DNF it, but not great either. 

I really don’t enjoy the trope of “sexually experienced man shows a virgin the ropes”. I also felt like there were times that Poppy didn’t want it and clearly said so, but he pushed forward anyway because he “knew she would like it” and would “thank him later”. 

It was also a HUGE red flag that he

took her virginity before he revealed who he was. Pretty sure that’s rape, and that is traumatic. But I know she will still fall in love with him because he is in the other books as a hero.

All that aside, I found the major plot twist a little too predictable (I knew a quarter of the way thru), and I found some of the plot needed to be trimmed because it didn’t make sense or it didn’t add to the story. 

Not my cup of tea, but the writing could have been worse. At least it was still readable, even if it wasn’t gripping.
