I enjoyed this one and the way it was more of a character study than my typical reads. I found Isabel’s character interesting and related to elements of her personality throughout - I certainly wouldn't want someone else deciding they could stay in my home without notice! I was glad with the way her character developed toward the end of the book, and how she tried to do the right thing and make up for what had been done.
However, whilst I've read my share of books with spice, I can't help but wonder if all of it needed to be on page, or if more could have been implied. I don't know what having it on page added to the story after the first time, but that might just be me...
