4.0

This is a 4/5 spicy book for those interested or disinterested in that kind of thing where 1 is a single kiss to seal the deal and 5 is smut on every page. It is a book that I needed as a palate cleanser in between grad school reading, although the train enthusiast slander is not called for imo. The characters were loveable, you know pretty much the exact plot from the word go and that is exactly what I want in my romance books 99% of the time. It would possibly be a good introduction for people wanting to expand their romance reading into pararomance or fantasy romance if they like their romance heavy on the smut because it is very much romance centric with sprinklings of fantasy until like halfway through. The third act conflict is the only thing that wasn't super strong for me and it leans on deception which is like, bottom of the list for me. Very Twilight "I left you for your own good" vibes.
