Actual rating 3.5
I had no actual problem with that book except that it was a little bit longer than necessary. There were a bunch of chapters that I ,personally, don't think added anything to the plotline for me. So it was like dragging the plot to that one important chapter. But then there was some chapters that literally flew by. Example, the one month gap between the first and second chapter. I don't mind something like that, but you have to clear that up for me, but it was written between the lines, and that brothered me. I am a reader who either likes a clear timeline or non at all. The timeline here was just a hell lot tricky.
It's basically like some chapters were too long and needed to be shorter, and others were too short and needed to be longer.
Other than that, I think Chloe did a great job with the characters. Especially Nairne, I like her fierceness and her fight for independency. She's a very understanding smart character and you sometimes forget she's a twenty one (if I'm correct) year old young woman. And Zed, yes he can get a little too pushy sometimes, but it all comes from a place of love, not control and I think that's okay.
I also adore the side characters, aka their family, and I need more of them so I hope I can find that in book three

I read this book within one single sitting and absolutely devoured it. It was intense, interesting, intriguing, sharp, unique and a lot of fun. This author crafts an incredibly powerful story, and tells it in a really captivating way. The story is impossible to put down once I start reading, is incredibly captivating, the plot has depth and is thoroughly intriguing to read.
— Loved the disability aspect. There was a particular scene wherein Zed helped Nairne with a catheter and it was just amazing to read that. He was helping her, she wasn’t nervous about it, he didn’t hesitate about it - he just wanted to help, and I really loved Zed’s thoughts about it too. About how he wants to get to know the ins and outs of her condition. I just loved the connection the pair had together in terms of her disability. It was infinitely touching, heart warming and soul melting. I loved it. It’s still the representation I have always needed!
— The sex scenes were incredibly spicy, and I have absolutely fallen in love with the way the author crafts her sex scenes. They’re different to anything else I normally tend to read. I adore the characters interactions during these scenes and the dialogue between them also really enhances it. I love how the scenes aren’t simply driven by descriptions of actions but are also driven by dialogue, internal monologues and character actions.
— Intriguing plot! Really loved the extra injection of drama in this story, it really kept the story moving and enhanced it even further for me. It was a lot of fun, infinitely captivating to the point wherein my heart was pounding. It was incredibly intriguing and extremely fun to read. The plot moved easily, comfortably and the events melted together so well; the story flowed brilliantly.
— the characters are even better than in the first story!
— this story very nearly made me cry, too, which is extremely rare for me — I don’t normally tend to nearly cry at stories but there were some aspects of the story that just broke my heart, particularly between Zed and his Mum. Ah, my heart!
I just really love this series. I didn’t expect to love it the way I do, and it’s a thoroughly enjoyable read. Massively enjoyable, and a lot of fun, not to mention how brilliant it is to read this to escape because it really transfers you to a different place. Love!

Oh, I enjoyed this one way more than the first. I think these kind of books take a while for me to get accustomed to the constant underlying angst but the characters started growing on me in this book.
It became very very thrilling about halfway and I couldn't put it down.
I'm curious how their story will continue and I'm excited for the next book!

*Thank you to the author for this free copy in exchange for an honest review! All opinions are my own.
I really loved He’s A Brute, so I was elated to read this sequel, She’s A Spitfire, and follow more of the story between Zed and Nairne.
I may even love this one more because we get to see how fierce and brave Naine is. This really is a great series and I’m excited to see where things head next.
All the stars for this fun, steamy series!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
