amyroseb 's review for:

Cruel Seduction by Katee Robert
3.5
dark lighthearted tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The character development in this one moved WAYYYY too fast for me. One chapter they were strangers who didn't like each other, and the next they were all in love. I found this especially odd given the high stakes environment which you wouldn't think lends itself to opening up/being vulnerable with your enemies. And this was addressed, but in a very vague "unexplainable" sense. It was still very interesting and smolderingly hot but the characters were all a bit 1D.
