I had high hopes for this book but I just couldn’t get into it. I was bored and had to DNF. It was too detailed if that makes sense. Just very wordy like a college essay trying to meet a word count requirement, and the story just wasn’t exciting for me.

I really tried to stick with this book and finish it but I began to dislike the characters more and more and the storyline was so muddled it didn't make sense to me.
I was so disappointed with the characters. The FMC seemed so self assured and confident at the beginning but as soon as she met the MMC her character completely changed into this whiny, insecure girl. In my opinion the storyline would've been much better if it was just a workplace romance instead of including the Dom/sub/girlfriend contract they had outside or their work.

The book is good if you just want a spicy read and you're not fussed about a good plot.

An entertaining novel with exceptional sex scenes that ultimately, I think would have been better suited as a novella. The MCs and supporting cast felt two dimensional, the pacing seemed disorderly and the dialogue at times didn’t flow smoothly or translate much character depth.

I think the dom/sub relationship the MCs shared could have been better handled had more research been done. Everything was consensual, but it felt surface level. Thus why a lack of character depth made it seem as if the basis of the couple’s connection was only about sex. Especially considering how the female MC constantly referred to her love interest by, what I assume, is his dom name; rarely ever using his first name, Dymon. There was no discussion of safe words or even what Quince should refer to her Dom as. While the contract they agreed on seemed to outline so much, a lot still remained unclear. The subplot with Kia was poorly handled and should have left some room for nuance and actual on page dialogue between her and Dymon considering how traumatic what happened to them was.

If you want a novel that has some spicy sex scenes with a relatively low-conflict plot then this one would fit the bill. As more of a romantic realism reader, this novel was not a good fit for me, but I think for those looking for something to sink their teeth into and clutch their pearls I think they might enjoy it.
