I enjoyed this, but not as much as Margo's book.
Surprisingly, it wasn't the age gap that bothered me like I thought it would, but rather the hero's hot-cold 'I am not worthy' routine that got a bit old. Buuut he was secretly very sweet to both Matilda and his sister, so... I liked him in the end. There wasn't as much BDSM activity as I expected based on the hints in the previous novella but it was still very hot.
I also wish the twins had had some sort of on-page reconciliation. I'm assuming that they did, at some point in the future, but the story ends quite abruptly and there is no epilogue.
