Customer Reviews
A spicy mystery
Know what you are getting into though, the ML is high-key toxic and actually pretty terrible but the spice is fabulous.
Anticlimactic
The description of the book makes it seem almost like a detective undertone is at work, but there’s hardly any of that until pretty much at the end. Basic information is revealed and without spoiling too much of this book, you kinda could’ve guessed yourself or at least something along the lines of what is written. It’s steamy, but unless you enjoy that naive “first time haven’t even explored my own body yet” kind of scenario, I feel like this had been written before. It’s a quick read however, the overall plot is enjoyable and the characters are truly something.
One word to describe it all
Sexy.
