Spoiler

Though the smut was a 5/5, the storyline was a bit predictable. The relationship between the male (James) and female (Wendy) protagonists was boring. The female is abused by her lover, said lover apologizes (sort of), and the couple lives happily ever after. People die, the main characters bond over their shared issues, and all is good by the end of the novel. Oh! And don’t forget about the baby that the female protagonist pops out at the end.
