While I found Aleatha through her really dark Consequences series, I do also enjoy her lighter stories like this one when she writes them. And this one was so perfect! The friendship to lovers trope is one I do enjoy, and the way the friends crossed that line was perfect in this one. Plus, I adored Marshal, both as Sami’s friend, as well as when they became friends with benefits. And while this was pretty much a lot lighter than Romig’s usual stories, it still had a little bit of a surprise twist toward the end that was a little deeper than expected. Once again, I really liked how the author handled that, or should I say had the characters handle all of that.

Perfect summer read!
