This sounded like such a me book when I read the blurb and I enjoyed myself well enough but the characters didn't really work for me. Mountie (Takoda) was the grumpy to Holly's sunshine, but his attempts to woo her were slightly overshadowed by the other two. Hawk started very one dimensional, but became wonderfully complex, and Leif is the pretty Golden Retriever boyfriend.

The spice was so good, but as I mentioned above, Takoda and his quiet, bloody attempts are only hinted at because Holly is... busy.

Overall, enjoyable and good if you're looking for a spicy and sweet romance.

Thank you Valentine PR for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange of an honest review. My opinions are my own.
