I have mixed feelings here because of the same time I loved this story and thought it had such a great spice. My feelings on Dacre are not the best ones.

โš ๏ธ***Spoiler Ahead***โš ๏ธ
The whole scene where he was drunk, I just wanted to choke him!
And that ending? I actually thought he was gonna man up and run away with her.
Our girl deserved a better first kiss and first-time experience.
๐Ÿณ***End of Spoiler***๐Ÿณ

I think his feelings for her are still more on the physical attraction side of things, which made him act like a complete asshole. I hope we get a redemption for him in the future, because I really want to like him, our princess deserves a good man.

I love Wren! I love how she is a girls' girl kind of character.

The toxic parenting portrayed here is heart breaking, I can't wait to see how that arch unfolds in the future.

This was a fun, quick, spicy, and entertaining reading, perfect for when you're feeling down or looking to get out of that reading slump.
