Didn’t dislike it as much as I thought I would. It was enjoyable in some parts, some it’s just eh. Some spicy scenes, but I’m also not one for books that hang their hat on just having spicy material to get people to read. I think the plot will be more prevalent in the next one? Interested enough to listen to book 2, not sure on the whole series yet. We’ll have to see!
