CW death of a loved one
This is a promising start to a series. Think Mr. Rochester vibes, but spicy 😂
Advanced warning, this is very insta-lovey. My personal preference tends to veer away from instalove, HOWEVER, there's still some pining and some push and pull there. I do think this would have benefited hugely with a dual POV as opposed to a single POV. POVs from the tortured, dark and brooding characters, offer a much greater insight into their behaviours and feelings which you just don't get from a secondary view through the POV of whatever character the book is being told from.
However, I love Sierra Simone and I look forward to seeing what she does in the next few books to get me to *see* that development in Julian, without having his POV. I trust her, and I'm crossing my fingers that it works. 🤞
