I will be reading the next book in this series. I found the twist interesting. It was  lust to maybe love not a lot of romance really. I did like this book over all. I like when there is not a clear path in the romance and where it might go. I also like that it is not clear if we want the main FMC and MMC together. Most first books in the series take me a minute to really get into the book. This book was no different but once I was in it I really hated when I had to put the book down to join the real world again.

The romance wasn’t really compelling imo but the climax/ending was solid and made me up the rating. I do however think that sometimes the author had a habit of telling instead of showing, which took me out of it at times.

While the book's synopsis initially intrigued me, the reading experience left me with a migraine 🙂 The plot had potential but fell short due to a lack of engaging writing, detailed world-building outside the “manor”, and character development. The “supporting cast” felt underdeveloped, barely interacting with the main protagonist or each other. Excluding Claude, who was “boss and CEO”, so she had to interact with him I guess 👁️👄👁️

The pacing was sluggish, with the most engaging” and “exciting” moments reserved for the end. Numerous dialogues and scenes seemed unwarranted, often using verbose explanations to fill pages rather than advancing the story. It's disappointing because the plot was promising. Don't even get me started on the ending 🙄 A cliffhanger when the storyline was finally getting good……Brother eugh!! What do you mean?????? 🤦🏾‍♀️I don't even want to read the next book at this point🧍🏾‍♀️

I was so excited to read this book because it was my first JLA! Unfortunately, I was disappointed...I was so bored and there wasn't really anything happening until about 80%. Lots of spicy stuff that I didn't care for, but I did enjoy the ending.
