  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

Given that the entire premise of this book rests on one character forcibly outing the other, I was not sure about it, but Ripper's sensitivity and humor really redeemed it in the end, and I fell in love with Orion and Des's love story. It would maybe have benefitted from a dual POV so that the audience could better grasp what Orion saw that enabled him to look past Des's terrible judgment. The snowed-in, forced proximity trope was really fun though!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing my ARC in exchange for an honest review.
