I am so glad this was my last read of 2024. What a nice way to end the year!
Going into this book I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy it, because while I do love Lasairiona, I tend to stay away from books where the Domme is female and the submissive is male. I just feel like there tends to be a lot of degradation and stuff in those types of books and it's hard for me to picture myself in the position of the FMC because that is not my role at all. However, Cora is a soft Domme who is stubborn, driven, and knows what she wants in life. I adored her! Sterling was a cinnamon roll and really just wanted to make sure everyone in his life was taken care of.
Their story was so cute, and the healing/self-discovery journeys they both went through were a delight to read. I loved how these characters met. I'm a sucker for marriages of convenience. I also loved seeing characters from previous Protocol books, and ones whose stories haven't been written yet. I'm definitely curious about Slade and Paige. But I also want to know if anything happened between Phoenix and Tessa and what Nyx's story is. I have no doubt that the author will give us these stories when the time is right and I will eagerly wait until then.
