3.5

Somewhere between a 3 & 4.
The story, at least a four. Surprisingly loved the world and the romance.
It gets significantly lowered when you factor in the 🌶️.
Things like:
"you're so warm inside. So wet, just for my knot."
"I'm going to do it, misery... I'm going to come where I'm supposed to."

WHAT 😂😂
The entire last 20-30 pages are cringe af scenes (which is surprising bc the earlier ones weren't and all others I've read by her aren't, but the introduction of the whole knot thing + this alpha somehow fucking like a 13 year old virgin are just a no go for me), and it overall could've been quite a bit shorter but. Overall, a good read.
It gets bumped back up from 3 because it was literally funny af, genuinely, when usually that's not the case.
