I got his in a blind date book grab, so I had no expectations beyond it containing the tropes I was told: fantasy romance, sirens and fae, and paranormal romance. All in all, there wasn’t that much world building and the plot is more of reconnecting rather than her helping the bargainer. 
Having said that, it absolutely delivers. I loved the romance between Callie and the bargainer, loved the characters, and the spicier scenes were all hot. Some of them more in the reading-over-experience way, but still enjoyable.

I thought this book was going to be kinda fun and I heard it was very spicy but the romance was very clean (felt like YA) and the romance was boring. 

Also, the second-hand embarrassment experienced while reading the flashbacks where to seven years ago, was excruciating. 

**also the book had multiple typos🥴
