   I'm being real generous wit this 3. Like real , real generous wit it. Now I'm a sucker for smut as much as the next person , but the pacing is all over the place , everyone's attitudes was WAYYY too positive and understanding from what was being described. This is definitely one of those stories you turn your brain off and just enjoy. I want to love this book , a fantasy romance with a black female lead is a great find , but I simply can not get past the dubcon.   If I'd fully understood what it meant before i checked it out I'm not sure I would've started. Is the story fast paced? Yes , but that's no excuse to not , at the bare minimum,  make the consent MUCH more vocal and obvious. Please don't leave the very first sexual interaction between the main couple so ambigious in consent of all things. Feelings? Fine & dandy , but never consent to touch someone.    This is a published story , not a Wattpad fanfiction. 

    At the very least , if you're gonna read try to find a physical copy. The cover art is BEAUTIFUL and what drew my attention in the first place.  Shoutout to Alexia E. Pereira and Mike Pape for the hard work on it.
