I definitely see why this series is popular. I enjoyed sharp-tongued, super confident and capable Liz’s relationship with gruff, silent, bad-tempered Raahosh and thought it was a great match. The premise is that Raahosh resonates with Liz but feels doubtful that he will be able to win her over in a tribe when he’s always been a second class citizen so he kidnaps her to improve his chances. But Liz is not anyone’s kidnap victim and she shows him that winning her over won’t be as easy as that. I loved their clash and compatibility in personalities. There is some sexist-adjacent, dubious consent sort of does-no-mean-yes stuff going on in this, so beware if you might be at all sensitive to that kind of content, but Liz is never shy to set Raahosh or really any man straight on any foolish perceptions they may have about women.

I didn't like this as much as the first book. I enjoyed Liz as a character, but the flaws of Raahosh were just too much for me. Not even him forcibly saving her life, but pretending he didn't understand her.

And the plot was just stagnant and less interesting. But the love scenes were still good and I loved Liz's antics.
