A lot of the trigger warnings I’ve listed are historic, but they deeply affect the FMC and are in her narrative regularly.
I was frustrated bythe MCs’ lack of communication and the heavy use of misunderstanding and I really disliked the focus on getting the FMC pregnant and how that was handled (the epilogue was unnecessary, imo, but that’s a personal thing ig) . All in, the was a decent read. I enjoyed most of it, even if my entire heart and soul rebelled at the “you’re my wife, I’m in charge” thing. I did buy the 2nd in the series, but I’m not sure I want to read it right away. I’ve gotten accustomed to Slavik and Aurora, and, while Adelaide seems fine, I’m on the fence about her MMC counterpart.
