 I had fun reading this, don't get me wrong, however I couldn’t understand what was going on half the time and when I did, I felt like I still had something missing. I still laughed out loud and blushed at what was happening between Lowe and Misery, but I just could knot understand most of the things. I thought it would be more romance focused, but it was more politics which I don’t mind if I understand it. I did like reading the reveal for Misery’s friend, but it wasn’t that shocking since most of the time Misery just seemed to tolerate her, so I didn’t feel my heart tug.

The spice did get me. I've never read a book like this, and everyone kept talking about knots which I did know what it was about, but it still was unexpected. And the things Lowe said and Jesus Christ. I was reading that scene while on a call with my boyfriend and he kept laughing at me because of my reactions. Despite Lowe not being my favorite Ali Hazelwood man he is still in the top (I’ve only read three).

Overall, it was a fun read which is what I expected. I didn't expect it to be a literary masterpiece and that’s fine even the story didn’t take itself seriously and I enjoyed it.
