Spice rating 2.5🌶️one open door scene that is very short but not explicit.

Tropes: enemies to lovers possibly(most definitely)forced proximity, touch her and die

Plenty of diversity and 🏳️‍🌈 inclusion 

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this book at first. I hated The MMC and believed him an entirely irredeemable character.  He was a wildly unlikable, unfeeling , selfish and without mercy. I wasn’t sure how the author was going to redeem him, but the storytelling pulled me in and I couldn’t put it down. 

His redemption snuck up slowly and I’m not even sure what chapter it was by the time I stopped hating him. This story swept me away, and held me captive. I didn’t want to leave. The world was rich, the characters were all complex, and I really love a book with multiple POVs.

The end wasn’t really a cliffhanger, but left me devastated that there weren’t more pages. I can’t wait to see where this author takes us next.  

I recieved a free advanced copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.
