Very angsty with a lot of conflict driven by miscommunication. The conflict between Poppy and Asher was very realistic and that’s what made it PAINFUL to read at times. This is a pretty slow burn, emotionally, but the payoff is VERY HOT. I loved how Poppy was fiercely independent and curious. I thought the way the author portrayed the evolution of their sexual relationship from her being a virgin to her being a Domme was really well done and believable (ie, it didn’t happen overnight!!). Excited to read the rest of this series!
