This was a fun little book. I cried so hard, and I loved the dynamic between the boys.

4.5

I loved this book and the MCs! There was a great balance of voices/characters with there being 4 people in this love match. It's such a sweet and lovely evolution for the relationship that I didn't want the book to end. My only 'complaint' was that the background storyline was barely there and then rushed at the end. I would have liked it to be more involved and actually woven through the main storyline instead of plunked into the beginning and end. But overall this was a great addition to the Love's Bath House series.

CW fatphobia, stalking, deception

Do you like a sweet hero? Do you like a spicy hero? Do you like a grumpy hero? Do you love monster romance? Would you like to have all of them in the one book with a plus size FMC in a poly relationship? Well, here it is!

In a poly relationship, particularly with multiple heroes, the characters can sort of start to blur together and are indecipherable. Not here. Lillian Lark managed to craft a 4 person poly relationship with 4 very distinct personalities which all compliment each other perfectly. 

All 4 characters were working through some shit individually, and collectively managed to help each other heal and feel worthy of love and it was wonderful to watch it unfold. Particularly with Alistair, our alpha,  with a gruff and stony exterior (pardon the pun), gradually showing vulnerability and letting his partners know how he really feels. A real open channel of communication being revealed throughout. 

Did this book make me cry? Yes. Did it make me feel "feelings"? Yes 😻 Did it show character development? Yes. Did I feel a strong connection between the characters? Yes. 

This was everything I could've asked for, to be honest. Also, can we talk about the breeding kink and knotting for a sec? Did I think I'd be a huge fan? Not really. However, my stance has firmly changed 😂
