Listened to this as an audiobook while drawing and it was okay... i probably would reread it, it was mostly predictable plot wise, the main character is kinda boring and some of the smut fells non-consensual even though there is consent... its a bit odd, I'll probably read the next book cause im curious of the 5% plot that is actually in the book apart from the two main characters doing the dirty.....

There is almost entirely no plot. 90% of this book is smut. We finally start getting somewhere in the end chapters and then it ENDS?! I thought this was a duology (I’m dumb) and now I have to read two more books, neither of which are even published yet. What the hell. Guaranteed this and the next two books could be combined into 1 book if you eliminated 30 out of 35 sex scenes (approximately). I’m all for the spice but give me the story too!
