this was nearly 700 pages long so it took me longer to read but there was a lot of character development so i'm not mad; that's not to say that there wasn't unnecessary scenes (or unnecessarily long scenes) but for the most part i didn't mind it. it was only in the middle where it felt like it was starting to drag and even then once i got to the next chapter/scene i was sucked in again. the guys make a lot of progress with each other after the initial setback and it does take a while to get there but it's satisfying when it does.

it felt like a LOT was being thrown at us in this book but it didn't feel super rushed because of the length and it was really fun to read. i will say that elise's hypocrisy is starting to get on my nerves. it's probably because this is the first rh i've read where the fmc is the one pushing for the harem so the dynamics feel different to what i'm used to. i think i just need to give her a chance to redeem herself and grow in the last book - which is also nearly 700 pages long so i'm liking my odds.
