I immediately jumped into this book because it has one of my all time favorite tropes, and it just sucked me into the story. I will be honest, I will put off a bit from this heroine at first, she definitely isn't the type of heroine that I will normally resonate with, but surprisingly she was written decently in this book and I actually grew to like her at least until the ending and then yeah that view dropped because of how the grovel was handled. This is why I don't like grovels, it was just too much in having the hero on his knees, just turned me off and it turned a 4.5 rating to 4 because of it. I really was intrigued by the way the romance developed though. I had such a fun time with these two interactions and how they just come together in this one here. The way that the hero courts the heroine and doesn't get put off by her efforts, but only seems to be more excited when she makes certain attempts to put him off was delightful. And the moment when they just "click" together was perfection. I wasn't a fan of some aspects of the third act, even knowing Nero has a book, it just was very bittersweet and would have preferred a ending that felt a bit more satisfying than what is received.
Overall this was a solid win of a book, not a perfect finale of this series, but entertaining and endearing in some captivating ways!
