This was a fun read with plenty of spice. I feel like the pacing was a bit off, like the ending wrapped up super quickly compared to the majority of the book's pace. But the story was enjoyable and fun and a bit action-y.
🌶️ 4.5/5 The spice was spicing for sure. There was kink and power play, there was dubcon, there was a 3some. Chapters 2 and 17 stuck out as particularly exciting. (Only reason 🌶️ isn't a 5/5 is because there was still a lot of plot (not a bad thing). 5/5 would be like, this is all smut no plot.)
🏳️🌈✊ Representation: both MCs are brown skinned but ethnicity isn't named. FMC is not straight. Kink well-repped.
