Still absolutely blown away. I've read all books of the series that are out so far, and it's my favorite. Can't recommend enough, I would give it more stars if that was possible.
*Review Feb 2023*
I was really blown away by this book. The tropes are familiar, but to have a plus sized main character is honestly a breath of fresh air after reading a bunch of other (also pretty hot) dark fantasy books. I hadn't realized how much I missed this. The smut is delightful and delicious, and it's the first time I instantly re-read some of the chapters, just to enjoy the scenes a little longer.
Definitely a recommendation from me for anyone who likes casually queer characters (honestly, this alone would keep me reading Katee Robert's work), the comfort of familiar tropes, etc.

In general, Psyche does bring up past bullying and issues of fatphobia and body shaming. In addition, where there aren't explicitly described kinks in this book, it is still just as graphic sexual content as the first.kbairbooks's review against another edition

This modern take to retell the story of Pysche and Eros was so different than other versions that I was on board from chapter one.
Eros is such a grumpy emo who is so stuck in this idea that he is undeserving of love, thanks to his childhood that it takes him a while to realize that regardless of what he's done, he can grow and be a better man.
Psyche is so different. Her characterization is definitely more modern and I love that she is described as a curvy, vivacious woman who has her own hangups thanks to society's views on beauty that have made her doubt herself and in turns Eros.
This has a little bit of different things I love; enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, and the unlikely hero not to mention it had fun dialogue, likeable characters and this can be read as a stand-alone even though it's no.2 of the series.
Going to go find the first book now 😍😍
