I enjoyed this. And it feels nice to see how earlier books weave into this one. 

I sense the author tries to reflect neurodivergent traits in the MMC. 
 

Glad we didn’t have melodrama or bedridden patients. The brief episode of a fight and head injury was enjoy. It doesn’t really dwell on the underlying story of a man enslaving children to his profit.

Three 5 stars in a row??? Is it even possible??? I guess it is bc here we are. Again, a wonderful story perfectly embedded with wonderful characters. Absolutely loved them all and found none lacking or flat. The romance was built perfectly with just enough agony and torture. It was perfect.
