I like the mystery of the MC and I loved that I thought I figured it out and as not fully correct. I also loved the sex in this and how it tied into the character growth and even the plot to a certain extent. There is slight consent ish problems but it small and the Male lead dose say he would stop if she actually asked for it.

This was fun! I absolutely loved Bryn’s sass and her banter with Caiden. Their chemistry was off the charts as well 🥵

It’s been a really long time since I’ve read an ‘erotica’ book where I thought the plot was just as good, if not better than the spicy elements. Maxwell has done a fantastic job at making the reader beg for more.
Without a doubt this is one of my favourite reads this year!
The fantasy elements mixed with the modern setting throughout the book added this incredible element of authenticity to the characters that made them feel so real. I loved the banter, the love, but also the dom/sub relationship that Bryn and Caiden shared. I think Maxwell has definitely done her research and given a tasteful, but also representative example of this part of the sex-positive community, without making this quality the entirety of the characters’ personalities.
I am very excited for the next direction in this series and I CANNOT wait for the next book.
