This is a plot continuation storyline with a 'forbidden dark romance' layered over it.
Not the worst of the series, but close. I didn't enjoy the "even though he's just as terrible at communication as he started, somehow she's magically understanding him now" thing that happens in this one, which lowered it by an additional 0.5* for me. There is a fair bit of choice invalidation in this one, especially near the start and end.
(If it had just been novella length for this romance-only, I'd have adored it, but all the other stuff mucked about with it, imo.)
