This just isn’t my cup of tea, but I think it’s generally well-written. I hope it continues to find the right audience (which isn’t me😂).

When I say it isn’t my cup of tea, I mean Damon isn’t my cup of tea. I don’t really know how he’s going to be redeemed. I know he is because he has a book, but I don’t see any world where I believe that Rika would be okay with having him in her life again, let alone being close to him. Also, Michael says he loves her and all is well? I just feel like he and the other Horsemen got let off real easy for doing all that stuff to her when she didn’t even do anything. I like kinky, but I don’t like bullies.

Was this book good? No. Did I like the characters? Also no. Will I read the other books in the series? Probably yes, because the spicy scenes that weren’t questionable were pretty hot, and I’m a sucker for it. 

So hoping in next books the plot will pick up a bit, and there’s room for  more loveable characters😅
