This was my first Allie Therin book, and I'm sorry I hadn't picked them up sooner! I wouldn't recommend starting here like I did, because this series is clearly a spinoff of another series. The world-building and character introductions were still done well enough that I knew what was going on and I wasn't confused, but it made me really want to read the other series to get all the background I was missing. The grumpy-sunshine type romance is excellent, a lot of Sebastian and Wesley's initial dialogue had me chuckling out loud. I listened to this on audiobook and the narrator was great. They also narrated The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen, and I'd recommend that as well if you liked this.
Moderate: Gun violence, Sexual content, Violence, Murder, and Fire/Fire injury
Minor: Confinement, Torture, and War

Yes! It’s fun and stand-alone. Some characters if you read the main series might make slightly more sense but I had no difficulty reading it or had the feeling that I was missing something since I did not read the “main” serie. There sometimes is a bit drama for the drama but other then that is compelling read with cute and fun characters
Minor: Gun violence, Homophobia, Violence, and Classism

I really loved it. I didn't think I could ever like Wesley but I was wrong. Can't wait for the next installment and I really hope we see Rory and Arthur again!
