FMC super flaky and indecisive and annoying. 
MMC is not morally gray, he's just straight immoral, possessive chauvinistic annoying.

Sigh. I LOVE this author. But I cannot love this female lead. I forced my way through book 2, hoping there’d be a turning point. But no, this girl is an idiot through and through. What a cliffhanger, though. Will I read book 3? Probably. Will I rank it any higher? Maybe if the main characters stop making me want to throw my head through a wall.

Can I just say that the blurb for this book makes it sound like the whole book is forced proximity and thats not the case. There's like 5 chapters of her being locked up. One of my favorite tropes is forced proximity. This book is the literal opposite than that. For about 60% of this book, she's running all over the world, to specifically be away from him, and he just lets her? Also let's her believe that he's ENGAGED to another woman, even tho they are mates. Maybe I read too much dark romance, but I LOVEEEEE when they lock her in his castle so they can fall in love. And then to fucking top everything off the last 5 chapters (right after they FINALLY give into to the mate bond) she's kidnapped by the enemy. So I already know first half of the next book will be forced separation already. So I won't be reading the third unless I can get the audiobook for free. Like the plot is GOOD but it's just chuck full of all of my least favorite tropes.
