i know rina kent claims to be british but as someone who's lived all over england (literally north, midlands, and now south/southwest) i do not know a single person who talks like that. i feel like maybe she picked up a few words and ran with it because most of the british slang is misused or super oddly placed in sentences. i think her dialogue in general isn't accurate to how people naturally speak but this book was riddled with spelling + grammar mistakes even outside of the dialogue. the main characters had no chemistry, from what i can see at least, but it was an easy read at least and i enjoyed some of the supporting characters.

I started my Rina Kent journey out with God of Fury so it was really cool to go to the beginning and see how things started for Astrid and Levi. I'm not really into bully romances usually but I really enjoyed this one. It was really easy to get into and the spicy scenes were great.
