This one was…ok. Like it wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad. It was enjoyable and the voice actors were good so it made the audiobook enjoyable. But I feel that if I had read this, instead of listening, this would be more lack luster.

The story felt surface level and overall “stereotypical”. It was the class:
- second chance
- miscommunication trope
- “you’re better off without me”/“I’ll only hurt you”
- groveling man

Romance. So if you want something fluffy and light to listen to (or read) this one is a good option.

So outside of the Voice Actors voices for the two main characters. This was a good ““monster erotica” romance. The womans voice sounded like she was a witch reading a book to children, and it took me out of the story any time she talked. And the male speaking for the woman was just too high pitched. It was a sensory overload at times

It’s no secret that the two series that JLA has created are high favorites of mine. I love them, most because of Sera and Poppy being bad ass FMCs and plus size on top of that.

But this book….oh my god, I picked it up. Put it down, paused it, unpaused it. I couldn’t get through it. And it wasn’t till nearly 50% of the book that I realized why….I didn’t give two shits about Kolis or anything related to him.

The moment that annoying ass psychopathic man waltzed into this book - I hated him. And Callum, fuck him too. If I had to read any more about his he was psychotically “in love” with Sotoria I was gonna ram my head through a wall.

I scanned through to find the exact spot Ash comes back into the picture just to give myself motivation. And amazingly the moment I did - finished the book in a week.

And the moment we got back to Ash and Sera I was back into the story, the plot and everything else. And I know that’s bad - cause Kolis is the big conflict. But I felt I was reading the same scene over and over again during Sera’s time with him.

The scene (and no spoilers) between Ash and Sera in the lake toward the end of the book - oh it almost brought tears to my eyes it was so emotional. And then the AFTER. I had to put the book down cause one second I’m panicking, then I’m stressed, then I was crying, and then it was getting steamy.

Now time for the last book - so sad this series is ending. Rumors are FBAA is becoming a show. I would love that but I fear it’ll be butchered and I’ll hate it. ESPECIALLY if Poppy isn’t plus sized!!
