Loved the growth and evolution of the MMC. This story was true romantic fantasy.

The romance and angst was so good. I loved the MMC. The FMC drove me bonkers with her indecision. Thankfully this is a romance where the ending and epilogue redeemed itself.

(There was a kitchen scene that was completely ridiculous and unnecessary which knocked my rating down. IYKYK)

Loved the narrators for the audiobook!

I enjoyed this two book series. The audiobooks were an awesome way to take in the story. My one complaint is in the second book where I felt Gia was a little too docile at times and almost begged for Rush. It’s just a personal opinion.

I do wish they would have selected a different female narrator. It’s not the actress and her performance, I just felt her overall voice didn’t match the character.
