This was such a fun read. I think *some* people won’t enjoy this book as much if you don’t like the MC being a straight up asshole to the other MC and admittedly this got in my nerves at some points. 
I absolutely loved sweet Meph. He’s definitely a smile and joke through the pain type of guy. I enjoyed the fact that he didn’t let Iris’ prickly personality deter him from getting to know her. And my gods the banter and dirty talk. It had me giggling and sweating. 
I’m also really really glad Iris was finally able to heal from her childhood trauma and realize that maybe she wasn’t the best person at times. I think her healing journey was incredibly relatable for those who struggle with self doubt/hatred. 
I absolutely can’t wait to see which characters Aurora decides to pair together next! ☺️
