3.0

Definitely a "fast food" book for me. It was easy to read and I properly enjoyed some parts in which the characters' stryggles felt quite genuine, as well as it doing exactly what it I was looking for: distracting me and getting me to read for longer than 20 min after going a month without being able to. 

I wasn't inclined to review as it's not really written for me, but I do think there's a reason these books are popular and it does what it sets out to achieve.  (I say this because possessiveness, unbalanced power dynamics... aren't my thing and being quick to forget problematic behaviours because of the lusting makes me uncomfortable). I enjoyed the couple much much more than the first book,
their dynamic and relationship just felt more real in a way Rowan and Zahra lacked for me personally once they got together.

I'd say in general the character work is better in this book and Cal's presence tempts me to try and find the last book in another charity shop for potential future book slumps. 

I was looking for a quick and easy read to get me out of a reading slump and that I got! I'd recommend it to folk looking for another standard het romance :)
