1. as foreplay the mmc shaves the fmc's v*g*n*, which was alarming at first ngl.
2. "orbs" is used as a synonym for eyes, and I've read too much fanfiction to be okay with that. it made sense in the context but I still did not like it.
3. I did like this book, there was some repetition plot wise, and it was waaaaaaayyy darker than the others.

I really enjoyed this one. I liked watching Livvy and Gareth slide from annoyance to love. I thought the grim reveals were nicely done. I thought Livvy and Gareth fit together really well. I loved watching Gareth interacting with the Savoie crew. This was such a great read.

We return to NOLA and the Savoie sisters, following Lavinia (Livvy) this time as she goes toe-to-toe with Grim Gareth Blackwater in a PR competition to benefit the supernatural community. Each of the 3 finalist contestants brings an idea forward before deciding which to go forward with as a team, but Gareth is determined to see his win, as it's a personal mission too. Don't want to spoil too much, so you'll just have to read too very <i>those</i> details.
Meanwhile, the competition liason is an older warlock trying to make moves on Livvy. While she can put the best misogynist in their place, Gareth's Grim senses are saying there's more than just a sleezy old lech there and will make sure nothing happens to Lavinia on his watch. A few social run-ins turned dates, and these one-time rivals can't keep their hands off each other.
And the kink. 🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥 there were definitely things that weren't for me (the shaving scene, while hot, didn't quite do it for me), I also didn't know I would enjoy a bit of the primal and restraint scenes. Oh lawdy, Grims do not mess around!
I was so excited to finally learning their background/origin! And there's still so much we don't know, like if Gareth is in an elite class as a Grimlock, what is the extent of Henry's power that he can communicate with the dead, but that he felt he needed to cut himself off from his magic for 10 years?!?!? And is Sean going to be a Grimlock too, or is he just a dumb teenage boy growing into his magic? And I want more Aunt Lucille!!
CW/TW: sexual harassment/sexual assault on page. The assault was minor for me, but you know yourself best and please be safe with yourself
