The storyline and plot was great. The banter between Trag and Violet was really entertaining. I really enjoyed the very obvious love triangle and how it played out, but that was also my biggest complaint. I love a book with lots of sexual tension but this was less sexual tension and more the MFC constantly gawking over how beautiful/ muscular/ sexy/ etc. this man is and then going on about how she hates him and how could she think that. It got repetitive, a little boring, and fairly funny (though it wasn’t intended to be) to have these long descriptions of how gorgeous he is and how she needs to “smother her feelings” while staring at home for several pages.  
I thought the disability rep was fantastic. It was also great to have a love interest fully invested in the MFC learning how to fight for herself.
