The spice/kink level in this series is high for me and would not be everyone’s cup of tea. That being said, Shane and Diana’s relationship development in this book is well-paced and a lot of important life lessons and topics are covered, including physical abuse of a past partner, processing and reporting that abuse, as well as the fear, anxiety, and mental health consequences that result. In addition, processing a cancer diagnosis and death of a parent. These important and challenging life themes and situations and how the characters dealt with and supported each other through these situations really made this book shine. The HOA neighbors and amateur ballroom dance competition added some nice color and fun to this story as well.
