fast-paced

3.0

This would’ve been 4 stars if they didn’t meet when she was 17 and he was a masters student. I cannot give higher than a 3 to a book with “she doesn’t look seventeen” in it. I also had similar issues with The Kingmaker that I had with Grip. 

I’m not sure if Lennix was supposed to be acespec/demi, but if so I didn’t love how that was talked about.

I liked the timeline of the book (minus the whole meeting when shes 17 thing), how it goes forward four and then ten years ahead. I like Lennix way more than I Like Maxium - I hate a man that plays devils advocate. The jobs and interests of the characters were just as interesting as the romance. Kennedy Ryan is also a great writer.
