This book was a rollercoaster. I didn't enjoy their relationship as much as any of the others ones cause it didn't seem like it built up into a satisfying way. The shaving was a bit strange and not sexy at all, also the fact that the author tried to introduce BDSM into the book but it fell flat. The trial plus the situation with Richard was also not the best. I don't understand why they didn't report Richard like the second time he tried to come on to Livvey at the wolves fundraiser. I'm just not very satisfied with this book. Hoping that the next two are much better

Another win for the Stay a Spell series!! At this point, we know and love the family and surrounding characters so it's like meeting up with friends every time you open the next book.

That being said, I think this story holds up, on its own. The relationship is dynamic, and sexy, and the trials that come up although dark (check trigger warnings), and laced with magic, feel very real.

Also, I love the way the family is growing, and seeing everyone's dynamic together, is such a plus.

At this point, I think almost all of the stories in the Stay A Spell series get close to 5 stars automatically. This world is my guilty pleasure or happy place at the moment. I can’t believe there’s only 2 left to read.

The narrator for the male POV in the audiobooks (Aiden Snow) knocked it out the park yet again. Although it was quite strange to lust after a character named Gareth of all things, you manage it quickly with all the shadow play, binding, mind links & BDSM.

I did think it was a strange choice to leave Jules/Ruben & Clara/Henry’s books to last as they are the most intriguing potential couples but this little diversion into Livvy’s world did end up being a welcome distraction.

That shaving scene was a nope from me tho 😬👎🏻

a few things:
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.
