If you're looking for amazing hot spice, this is it 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ If you're looking for good plot, this is not for you.

This book had a very slow start and it took a while for things to get going. The spice was very well written 🥵 and there are sweet praise kinks in between. Unfortunately, other than the smut, this book was very underwhelming. I had expected a bit more but I just felt everything was "???" 

I genuinely wish there were more scenes with the other firefighters because it really felt like MMC and FMC were the only 2 characters in 90% of the book. It would have been great to have a hot supporting cast.

I read the tropes and triggers page but the cult aspect and the lavender marriage really blindsided me. I really hate cheating unless the married party is being abused by their partner. And I honestly thought that was where this was going, she's running away from an abusive husband and that's why she couldn't get a divorce. But no, she was running from a cult but somehow it didn't seem like it was actually hard to run away from the cult cos apparently they knew where she was and let her husband leave to bring her back but when he didn't come back, oh well! Like idk I feel like the cult plot wasn't very solid, only brought more questions and in the end, it was fine and dandy. I think this book would have been stronger if it had gone in a different direction. It just fell short and took away from the romance, for me personally. 

I wasn't going to pick up the 2nd book in the series because this 1st book was so disappointing but the other books are written by different authors so I'm going to give it a chance and hope it's better!
