I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: HEA
POV: dual 3rd person
spice: closed door romance
TWs: classism, death of a family member, death of a parent, domestic violence, fire (nonfatal), grief
Kinky Content:
standalone: standalone
final thoughts: Benedict has elemental fire powers and Lucinda has elemental water powers. They’re forced into an arranged marriage after their prank wars go a step too far. Extra shenanigans ensue and mysteries unfold.
This was a fun and sweet closed-door romance but there were some plot points that I felt like were dropped and we never get a conclusion. Even through that, this was an enjoyable Autumn read.
