I’m late to the ZA hype but am finding the series easy to read and the characters palatable. The characters themselves (especially the main four - the Vega Twins, Darius and Lance) have decent background/emotional arc/and interconnected storylines. The rest provide solid background arcs for the Four’s development. It gets a little character crowded at times though. Geraldine is the scene stealer (even more if listening to the audio book).
It does have spicy dialogue/scenes but that’s not the main story device so I appreciate the balance. The main romances are slow-ish burn (one in particular…c’mon Roxy!), but it’s worth it and the enemies-to-lovers really works.
