as much as I appreciate that this was a romance between two people who didn't want kids and still don't want kids by the end of the story, that was pretty much the only thing I liked. the main guy/kraken was so terrible to her and the justification is just that she's used to being treated poorly?? I was not a fan, especially not when weighing this against the previous book which was so much better in every aspect.

Quick enjoyable read. Not a fan of the surprise pregnancy troupe but really happy with how it was talked about.

Overall a very fun and spicy read. However, it did feel like more of a novella. Since these are seven year contracts I sort of wish we could spend some time skipping farther in time to see more. However, the intended story does wrap up nicely in the length used. I think this had a little more plot/conversation as opposed to spicy scenes when compared with the first book, and honestly I thought the balance worked well. Again, I just wish we had more time to see these characters develop further. A good read, but not one I'll feel compelled to frequently come back to.

As with the first book in the series there is a high level of detailed spice. A reocurring theme is the discussion of the death of Thane's husband, which was viewed as a murder, and how that's affected him and his ability to accept/enter into a relationship with someone new. Catalina on the other hand has felt abandoned/neglected/unwanted by her family since she was young - which is what led her to enter the contract in the first place. There are some themes of her feeling confined early in the book. Later in the book there is a relatively detailed account of an abortion - however it does have a fantasy twist and while clearly defined is not explicit or graphic.karalouise's review
