Looking past the typo’s and editing issues, this book was fantastic. At times the words were so beautifully written that I often felt like I was reading erotic poetry instead of a novel. I originally chose this book as I thought that there was going to be some fantasy aspects to the story, and in a way there was, just not in the way I was expecting. The “romance” was hot hot hot and had me blushing and laughing out loud. It may have been the dirtiest book I have ever read. As strong as the romance game was with this book, there were also some pretty heavy life topics, some of which I found to be triggering due to past traumas. A few times I had to question if I should keep reading, but knowing it would be a quick read, I kept going, and I am glad that I did. I feel like it may have even been a little healing for me, which I was definitely not expecting from this book.
