 I very much enjoyed this book. It’s written in what I think is Victorian English in some parts and in 3rd person, but it didn’t take me long at all to get used to it. I giggled, sighed and even had the occasional angry outburst. I love when books make me FEEL!

I hate to say it, but this one is just my least favorite story in Shantel’s world. The first half was super good and had some amazing 🌶 scenes, but the second half fell a bit flat for me. The conflicts and resolutions were a mess. I didn’t fall in love with either the MMC or the FMC. The emotional connection between them was love-hate-hate/love but the communication was meh. I know that was the point in some parts, but just me personally, it wasn’t enough. The supporting characters were much more interesting than the mains and I’m excited for the next one she writes about them. 

Thank you, Candi Kane PR and Shantel for the advanced copy. This review is of my own honest opinion.

The twists and turns were so good, nothing was as I expected it and some things were a total surprise. Super super good, now I’m ready for Carnage.
