The plot was good in the way an easy read is. Because I listened to the audiobook, and he reader made this book waaaayyy better than it really was.
I did feel the flashbacks were irritating for me, jumping back and forth for very little information. I liked that Des and Callie were close until I reflected on the grooming vibe of a underage victim or abuse. Nope… for me.
I also found the FMC a bit whiny at times but I still enjoyed here the other 50% of the time when she was acting like an adult. The side characters felt so one dimensional and the reasoning for things didn’t feel like ACTUAL REASONS!
The spice was a good 3🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 but as the story continued,
this book was not a story I will revisit or finish the series.
