It was better than her other series, but it still was missing something as far as plot! But the romance was great, just more spicy than I prefer. That being said, the spice wasn’t bad.

4⭐️/5🌶️
This is definitely a SPICY book, not just a book with some spice mmmkay 🫣 I love a slow burn and enemies to lovers, so the slow tension and the pov swaps were well done and the tension lasted long enough to make the spice feel un-forced (although there are also some spicy scenes described that are not between the main characters, so fair warning those snuck up on me unexpectedly). I haven’t read the previous books by this author but after finishing this one, I definitely want to! I want to read a book for every one of the seven brothers so I’m hoping she does quite a few of them at least because this was such an interesting read! I found the character development entertaining, the bad guys were truly awful and the enemies to lovers had great banter and tension. Really enjoyable read! My only complaints would be that I saw a few of the major plot twists kind of coming, so while I was excited about them I wasn’t SHOCKED, and it was a tad spicier than I’m usually comfortable with with the background scenes that were described (vampire dinner party I’m looking at you). I’ll definitely read the sequel though!

I enjoyed this. It took me a few days to get through because it's been a busy stretch, but it was always something to look forward to. The elements themselves are fairly standard romantasy but well executed and the story and characters developed well across the book
