I don't normally like stand alone novels in a series, but Raven Kennedy never disappoints! As with all her series I fell in love instantly with each character. The books are so witty and funny. Great little spicy read.

I think this might be my favorite book in the series. Lex’s character is a bit less silly than Emelle, and I loved how good she is at her job while still being clueless about love. The constant tension and banter between her and Belren was well written, and there’s just something about them finding each other in each lifetime that warmed my heart. I really liked the ending and the epilogue, and I’m really happy they got their happily ever after considering what they went through.

I love that the author wrote a standalone spin off from her Cupid series! It was enjoyable overall.

I always really liked Belren because he's sorta borderline antihero, with so much charm and mischievous energy. He was all that in here, but without a lot of depth. He read like any other male character in this genre rather than someone unique. I still liked him, tho. He was the reason I kept reading.

Lex is...Lex. She wasn't my favorite. Too contained, too hesitant, too fearful. She got the job done tho and was generally enjoyable, but I definitely didn't feel the connection between her and Belren. It seemed a little forced.

For an author that wrote a reverse harem series with so many sex scenes, this one only had 1 oral scene and then 1 full-on scene in the epilogue (we know how all these types of books end, this definitely isn't a spoiler). Maybe she was going for plot, story, and action more than smut, but with someone like charismatic Belren as the male lead? I definitely expected more.

This is for sure a rom-com. It was humorous, borderline annoying and cliche sometimes, but I love this world of Kennedy's and I was happy to return to this universe. This one was just a little disappointing, with a slight feeling of laziness and pandering to the audience??

Regardless, I enjoyed it. Would I recommend it? Definitely if you've read the 4 other books in this universe, but as a standalone? It's probably not worth it.

Happy reading, Goodreads fiends.
