the longer i sit with this book, the more things i find to dislike. did i breeze through this? yes. was it fun? yes. was it good? i doubt. i don't remember much of this story but the guy was so insufferable and emotionally constipated that I found this hard to enjoy. zahra carried this book as she's the only one in that relationship with an actual personality (ani and claire too >> ). overall, i had fun i guess, but i doubt i'm finishing this series.

The book was overall a good romance, and the diversity was great to see, however in my opinion, the book was suddenly ruined when

the epilogue showed that Zahra was pregnant.

Another disappointing part of the book was

how quick Rowan seemed to overcome his mental struggles in the end, as it seemed to just resolve instead of show that he was working on himself and improving instead of Zahra constantly forcing him to overcome his issues.</spoilers>

Writing is quite…. How should I put this? Childish almost, for a book with smut, the writing almost felt like a teenager wrote it, still a great read! Plot sort of got lost in the middle but all is good!

I read this as an audio book and I don’t know is it was the fact that the males voice was so deep it sounded like a porn audio or whether it was a shit book. I liked the sister of the main character and I think on surface level the characters were diverse but sometimes it just felt like they were there to make the book diverse.

The best way to go into this book, in my opinion at least, is to go in not expecting much. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good things about this book and I particularly like the disability representation which is sorely under-represented in the literary field. However, I believe it is best read as a fun, raunchy at times, quick romance read. It is neither a literary masterpiece nor a absolute car crash and is a great read for inbetween 'heavier', more intense reads. I certainly enjoyed it (for the most part, I found it dragged a little towards the end) and am looking forward to continuing to the triology.
