I'd wished the book was a bit longer.

2 issues stopped it being a 4* read.

The tea making was one of them. Don't @ me I'm British and you put the teabag in the tea pot you do not put it in the mug and then pour hot water from the tea pot. It made me unusually mad.

**Potential spoilers....



The 2nd issue was her panicking about her hymen and the depiction of her having sex for the first time being physically noticeable to her partner because she was a virgin... except said partners had not 3 mins prior been using her like a glove puppet???

4.0

This book had me hooked from the very beginning. I liked all the main characters (Dahlia, Gabriel, Lucien, and Raphael) and they're all so different but similar to each other.

There was one thing that was inconsistent, though (from what I've noticed, at least). Somewhere towards the beginning of the book it was mentioned Dahlia was allergic to beets, but towards the end-ish it changed to radish. It didn't necessarily bother me to the point I'd lower my rating but it would be nice if the food allergy was consistent.

Though there was that one scene towards the end of the book where Raphael was on the roof and Lucien revealed the secret he's been keeping from everyone was a bit so-so for me because it just happened so quickly, and was very Hallmark-y for my liking.
