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.

i adore slow burn enemies to lovers, but the old timey language and ideals bothered me (even though they were part of the time period). i’ll definitely be reading the other books in the series!

The Lion King re-written as a Dark Spicy Romance. The first half of the book was kind of slow, but it got really good! I felt like this one wasn’t as dark and descriptive as Hooked, which saved me from the stares again, while parking my car (audiobook) 🤣 The spicy parts are 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🥵! Overall, it is very well written, and I enjoyed it!

challenging dark tense

Audiobook! I liked this book far more than the first book, HOOKED. Easy to listen to. Found the ending to be just okay though.

“If you want to burn down hell, you must learn to play the devil’s game.”

I thought this one was just okay. It dragged in certain areas. I really liked Sara though, she actually had a personality and was strong and independent, unlike Wendy from the first book. I loved the way the story ended. It came back full circle. 

- Lion King retelling
- Set in early 1900s
- Dark, royal romance
- Forbidden/enemies to lovers 
- Revenge plot 
- Slow burn 
- Family feuds/scheming 
- Calls her “little doe” and “ma petite menteuse” 
- Spanking
- Altar scene 🥵
- Virgin FMC 
- Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
