This is my first K.A. Tucker book and I’ve heard good things about this series so i finally decided to give it a try. While I understand that the fmc’s innocence and lack of sexual knowledge or even social cues are a result of her religious upbringing, it can be slightly annoying to read about especially when it’s kind of a “duh what did you think would happen” situation. I did think the development of Abbi and Henry’s “relationship” went from 0 to 100 real quick which I wasn’t necessarily a fan of but not completely against, since the entire series focuses on them together. The way the book ended definitely makes me wanna pick up the next book to see how the whole Kira issue plays out now that Abbi is in the picture and got a glimpse of that drama.

Surprisingly liked this book. Nothing spectacularly unique about the book, needs more depth. Similar themes to Fifty Shades of Grey. I listened on audible and liked the narrator.

Okay, so I have very mixed feelings about this book. At first, the main heroine was annoying, but she evolved, and I grew to like her. This was a painful, slow burn, and thanks to the solo POV, I struggled to understand Henry’s feelings and intentions. About halfway through, things got much better, and now I am addicted. Thanks to the cliffhanger, I am now onto the second book.
