I have very mixed feelings about this book. There’s much to like: it is quite funny in parts, and the chemistry between the MCs is good. But, to me, the AU premise of the book had too many logical inconsistencies, which other reviewers have enumerated. The thing with an AU is that it has to make sense within the universe it occupies, and this just didn’t. Also, I love dumbasses but Hartwell and Warry, for most of this book, bring it to an extreme level, to the point where I think it undermines the plot. Although I did have issues with this book, I probably will read the next in the series because I do need to see Lord Christmas Gale in luurve.
