Luna Mason’s Detonate is an extremely spicy romance that definitely keeps the heat turned all the way up. The chemistry between the characters is electric, and the passion leaps off the page, making it a thrilling read for fans of intense romantic tension.

However, I found myself wishing the plot had been a bit deeper. While the story moves at a fast and fiery pace, a more layered narrative would have enriched the overall experience. Additionally, I would have appreciated a slower burn in the romance to build more anticipation and emotional connection before the sparks flew.

That said, Detonate delivers on excitement and steamy moments, making it a satisfying read for those who enjoy bold, passionate romances. I’m looking forward to seeing how Luna Mason develops her storytelling in future works!

This follows Maddie and Greyson. Greyson has been burned in his past so he has sworn off relationships. But a year ago Maddie stormed into his life with just one kiss that changed everything but they hate each out and can not stand each out. They fight each other at every turn but things get complicated when they get close again is it really hate?

This book was good but I do prefer the first book. The spice has been ramped up for sure and the plot is fast paced. Unfortunately I was really struggling to get through it. It was quite repetitive and dramatic for my liking. The nickname Grayson had for Maddie was used too much. The I love you and the intimate moments were full on. I want the Villain in this story to be more villain instead of a soppy romantic. The plot was fast paced and we had a lot of spice which was good just some cringy moments.
