Oh wow. This book ended up being better than I thought it would be. The first few interactions our FMC had with the MMC had me nervous. He came across as this guy who lacked self-awareness and empathy. But as the book continues it’s clear he keeps people at a distance for a reason. He turned into a playful attentive and somewhat dominating MMC, which I loved. 

The book felt like a mix of the selection with the flame kings captive. 

Would recommend, worth the read.
