Pros & Cons of Desire by A.E. Wasp
4.0
Great sequel in the series that has the same strengths and flaws as the previous books.
Meaning it's hilarious and a ton of fun, easy and fast to read, overall rather light-hearted despite some of the heavier topics handled, but there are some consistency issues and simply wrong details that were overlooked seemingly due to being convenient.
Content warnings include: character gets sheld at gunpoint, character gets shot, violence and injury, vomiting, mentions of parental neglect, murder, homophobia, pedophilia, blackmail.
Pros & Cons of Desire somehow felt less... everything than its prequels. There wasn't as much pressure on this mission, there was no drama around the main relationship which was already established, there generally just wasn't as much pressure as the end of people suffering didn't depend on the success of the mission.
Topic wise it wasn't as heavy either, despite Ridge's childhood not being easy. Priviledge through inheritance and being rich was brought up but not really discussed in depth.
The mission was fun to read, but it I wish it was pulled through entirely - the book ended before the consequences were shown, due to external cirumstances. I hope things will continue on from there in the next book!
