ofmeganreads's review against another edition

It was too much yes and no. The I hate you and the Oh his eyes and that I want you. I don't like the sexual content. I always skip pages, but this just felt like horny characters that don't know how to control themselves and have a civilized conversation. Plus, the gruesome history of the kingdom is too much to handle. It just isn't a book for me and I normally enjoy fantasy novels with enemies to lovers. This book is a walking disaster of triggers that I couldn't continue reading.

Very well done. I loved seeing the progression of Poppy and Casteel's relationship.

When they finally admit their feelings to one another was everything.

I've read this twice, and would happily do so again.

Again the banter in this book is incredible!! The chemistry between Casteel and Poppy is incredible and their connection never once seems forced or fake. My issues stem from the world building/plot. It seems like every other chapter something contradictory is introduced and changes everything. I just wish there was some consistency to follow the relationship building thats so strong.
