Smoke and Steel by Kristen Ashley

2.0

It’s so funny cause I can read this and recognize how harmful this authors rhetoric is. Like it’s so blatantly white woke woman who is a reformed boomer writing this but I will read it every time.

This story is just another one of prime examples of that hehe.

This story is distinctly different from the rest because this series is focusing on a different MC that beat up a woman for spilling secrets. I think we could have gone a different route with this or used maybe ANY other plot device but hey, that’s just me. So while the MMC is “inherently male” we’re told to sympathize with him for his messed up background. That’s so crazy lmaoo.

I like the route she went for the FMC who breaks up with her boyfriend in the beginning for being a shit partner by not offering her any support and recognizes she would have a better time alone. I think we could have made this way simpler and still keep that KA enjoyable flare but a lot of her books recently feature an act of violence against women that is soon forgiven for a very shallow reason.

Will I read the next installment ? Yea probably hehe
