I hope this author continues to write and grow as a storyteller. That said, I felt the book could have used some editing. The dialogue was not believable and there were words used incorrectly - for me stuff like that is jarring and I feel like I’m reading someone’s fan fiction.  
I was initially suggested this book for the “romance / spice” element, but it was pretty nonexistent (trying to be disguised as tension) when really the relationship between the characters wasn’t all that deep (again, the dialogue was cringey and hard to read).
