The characters were so interesting (I’ve read a lot of monster romance, so I know what to expect from an Orc or Fae or Demons, but the Gemini was a genuine, pleasant surprise), and the slow-building tension within the relationships actually added to my overall enjoyment. I didn’t think it was overwritten. It held my attention, to the point where even when it was like 1 am and my eyes were half-closed, I couldn’t stop reading.

I loved returning to the Tempting Monsters world and exploring new characters, monster species, and continuing the fight against Birsha. I loved getting a visit from Esther and her Star Manor gentlemen, and a return of Marius the basilisk from The Basilisk of Star Manor short that came out in an anthology earlier this year. Knowing a few more of the handsome monsters in this book will get more page time in the next was fun to feel like getting some sneak peeks.
To have half the endurance and capacity to love as Hazel and Esther do is mind boggling. Like, cheers ladies. I'd never get anything done! But then again, being doted on by outrageously wealthy monsters means you don't have to, right? Honestly, goals.

Oh only other slight criticism is that the beginning is idk if slow is the right word but considering that the first book it’s fairly clear from the beginning what the book is gonna look like, this book was way way less clear and it kinda threw me off and I can see some ppl DNFing it at the beginning because of that potentially
