This book is definitely a case of the spice basically pushes the plot. Spice is MMMF and starts early on (like first chapter or so) and though it's not necessarily a "bodice-ripper" it's also not for the faint of heart, or those that want an intricately plotted novel. It did have (limited) world-building that the plot and the characters were immersed in, and I liked that this wasn't necessarily a damsel in distress female protagonist either. 

Probably not suited for those that don't enjoy erotica material for the sake of erotica as the plot isn't overly complex, and in-fact depends entirely on the intimacy of the characters. However, I enjoyed what world-building, political conflict, and urban fantast elements were woven into this novel.
