I was a bit hesitant to start this one as I have not yet read a “why choose,” but I never should have doubted Lyonne Riley. Once again this fantastic author delivers a riveting and heartwarming narrative paired with heapings of spice.

The romance was incredible! Drazak and Han’zir’s relationship not only grows to include Esme, but grows deeper between the two of them because of her. She truly is the third star of their constellation, causing them to shine brighter together.

The HEA was a perfect ending that wrapped up the story in a satisfying way, but also left me craving more from these characters.
