I have mix feelings about Raahosh. On one hand, his heart is in the right place in terms of protecting his mate. On the other hand, I don’t like that he practically

forced Liz to accept the qwi (not sure of spelling as I listened to it) by putting it in her with her protest.

I like that Liz is strong-headed and keeps her ground, standing up for what she thinks is right. She’s bold and I just love her!! The patience they have for each other when

it comes to the bedroom and when Liz learns about what happened to Raahosh when he was younger

makes me blush. She throws slang over to him and him trying to understand what she is saying is both funny but understandably frustrating.

Liz x Raahosh. 4.5 ⭐ 4 🌶 He kidnaps her after she is forced to get a khui, and he keeps her in his cave until they finally start hunting together. They are both stubborn. Liked this couple better than the first books

I liked this one even better than the first one! It did feel like the love story was a bit rushed and these books continue to feel too short. I’m hopeful that the novella helps with that as it did with the first one. 🙌 I keep being surprised by how much I like these books. It’s not my favorite of all time but it still has captured my attention enough I have to find out what happens next! 😂

Re-reading to annotate my physical copy.  This book has such a different tone than book one. A lot more character development. Both Raahosh and Liz have some big character flaws or trauma they’re working through, which makes their connection a lot more deep. I remember Liz’s personality and wit being a bit distracting, but for some reason on this re-read, while I found her funny, I also saw the vulnerability through her humor.
