I have mixed feelings on this book. On one hand I loved Creighton and Annika, they're amazing. But I also really di n't like Creighton a good portion of the time as well. 

I love that they ended up together though. I think they're good for each other. They bring out parts of each other that wouldn't otherwise have been brought out of they didn't have each other. 

I really enjoyed this book overall. I just thought it was a bit slow and it didn't keep my attention hooked the entire way through. Out of the two books I've read so far from this series, this one isn't my favorite. I preferred the first book. But I would still recommend this book as well.

Most of this book felt like watching a car crash, not enjoyable but unable to look away. There were points when I thought it wasn't horrible or that it might be getting better but would soon make me cringe again. Some things about this book just gave me the ick. I've DNF'ed books for way less in the past, but my curiosity got the best of me, and it was not worth it in the end.

queencard_lydia's review against another edition

Creighton was a boring guy Rina Kent tried to spice up by giving him weird kinks and making that the plot. God of Pain my eye. Annika became annoying and had no nose. Pink is superior to purple.
