Ali Hazelwood writes sizzling romantic tension like no other. And she has done it again! I’m not exaggerating when I tell you I absolutely tore through this. Reading 300 pages in one evening is a LOT for me. I wanna rate this 5 stars so bad but with pain in my heart I’m going to deduct half a star. The whole knot-thing situation and accompanying dirty talk... it was just a little too weird for me, sorry 🫣 I’m not a fan of the fated mates trope but decided to keep an open mind going into this book. It’s Ali Hazelwood, an author I have never given less than 5 stars, so I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. I was happily surprised that the mates situation didn’t bother me that much. I say this, but that was until we got to the sexy scenes. Some of the phrases used were too cringy for me. Idk, I might change my mind and give it the full 5 stars eventually.

Was there chemistry?

Was the spice any good?
