4.25

I throughly enjoyed this book, only took me two days to finish. However, I could rate it higher because some of the plot lines were too unrealistic for me to connect with. 

There are great moments in the book that made me want to rate it 4.75. It’s not without it’s flaws but it’s still a great story.

klausmand90's review against another edition

4.75

I was a little scared that the book would be ‘heavier’ than others in the series from the content warning at the start of the book. But thankfully there wasn’t an excessive focus on the losses.

Less half a star for this spoiler:

surprise pregnancy/pregnancy in epilogue

. Otherwise it was a very good read. Fast-ish pace like I like and quite a bit of smut. It is a kink book, so mind your TWs. One of the more tame books in the series so far, least amount of drama.
