This book has no right being as horny and emotional as it is given it’s premise. It explores Chris’s abandonment issues and his fear that if he doesn’t make himself useful and unobtrusive no one will love him. And his love of writing and self-consciousness about loving being a genre writer. (Felt like the author was maybe working through some personal feelings with that one.) I don’t love that the book equates someone making you angry with someone making you “feel passionate” but I do see that Chris needed someone who he felt free to blow off steam to. I just hate that trope. Someone enraging you is not a sign that you should be with them. The sex was hot though.
I like Cole and Hex better than Lock and Chris, but I liked this book more - maybe because it does not have the burden of the first one to explain the magical hijinx? Going to have to reread it and assess. Anyway, this book should not work but it does.
Audiobook narrator was great, although to my untrained ear his Irish accent at times skewed Scottish. But he was so good at carrying through the emotion that I didn’t care.
