The sex scenes were sexy and fun and definitely evoked the correct kind of response in me. I will say however they were extremely idealistic and there were some moments I wished were described in more details (it felt in a couple places like the author had finished and wanted to move on). But I thoroughly enjoyed them overall.
My biggest qualm with this book is not getting to see the feast at the end, it took away some of the catharsis (also wouldn’t have minded seeing the fuckfest that would have followed).
Did I enjoy this book? Hell Yes I did.
Will I be reading the sequel? I am aware that the sequels to this book don’t follow Jak and Marius however I enjoyed the writing and world enough that yes I do think I will be picking up the next book.

However, this book cared about the chemistry between Marius and Jack. And boy, chemistry they had. Pretty much right from the beginning I knew they had the fire for an amazing enemies-to-lovers relationship.
I enjoyed myself thoroughly reading this and exploring the possibilities of a gay beauty and the beast.
