I have no idea what I was expecting reading this. It was much, much more emotionally driven than I expected? And really claustrophobic (not in a bad way). Like these characters are having a rough old time of it. And the smut scenes go from very out there to very emotional. It was a whole thing. Like we start at very hot very dub dub con / noncon and then move into what was mostly lots and lots of sexual tension before everything explodes. I was definitely not expecting so much of the story to not be them going at it like rabbits.
The only other book by Eris Adderly I've tried was a dnf and now I'm thinking I need to go back and try again as this was a surprisingly compelling read.
