The sex is great, but takes a while to get there.
The twists!
Most importantly, the love is so, so beautifully written. Honestly, all the emotions are beautifully written.

This one was slightly better than Hooked as far as vocabulary goes. The story was fun and the characters felt fleshed out.

This was... Meh. Way darker than the first book to the series, Hooked. Obviously the spicy scenes are good, but the rest of it was kinda boring. Please read trigger warnings before picking up this book and honestly any book in this series.
