This book was a total trip. So I knew it had problematic elements going in because it's been talked about in romance circles, but hot damn, y'all. I almost DNF'ed it at 50% because of the drinking incident. However, the world building and secondary characters were intriguing enough to keep me pushing through. I didn't super love Emmaline or Lachlain, but the world state Cole has built is fascinating. The ending also felt a little rushed, but I don't know where the second book picks up. I like the way she writes spicy scenes, it's just that several of them in this story are a little cringe because of the dynamic that's happening. Fingers crossed for the other books in the series.
