Liz x Raahosh. 4.5 ⭐ 4 🌶 He kidnaps her after she is forced to get a khui, and he keeps her in his cave until they finally start hunting together. They are both stubborn. Liked this couple better than the first books

I liked this one even better than the first one! It did feel like the love story was a bit rushed and these books continue to feel too short. I’m hopeful that the novella helps with that as it did with the first one. 🙌 I keep being surprised by how much I like these books. It’s not my favorite of all time but it still has captured my attention enough I have to find out what happens next! 😂

Re-reading to annotate my physical copy.  This book has such a different tone than book one. A lot more character development. Both Raahosh and Liz have some big character flaws or trauma they’re working through, which makes their connection a lot more deep. I remember Liz’s personality and wit being a bit distracting, but for some reason on this re-read, while I found her funny, I also saw the vulnerability through her humor.
