I don’t want to go to into the details on this one, because I think it’s just best enjoyed if you don’t know exactly what you’re getting. I’ll just say it’s a bit dark. Not the darkest thing I’ve read, but compared to most contemporary romance, yeah, it’s a bit rougher.

I’ve seen a lot of complaints about the sex in this one. Particularly the ménage scene. Personally I had no issues with it. It made sense to the characters and the story. It was incredibly well written. Like, it was actually hawt. But, yeah, if you’re someone not comfortable with a couple inviting someone else into their bed, then this might be a problem for you.

I felt the connection between our MCs, Rika and Michael. The only thing I didn’t like was that a simple misunderstanding set up this entire plot. Having this much shit go down because people just can’t talk to one another was just a bit too much.

We get to know Kai, Damon and Will a bit here. Often when a book is setting up stories for other characters, we miss out on a bit from the main couple. Or we don’t really get much of an introduction to the characters that will be the MCs in the future books. Douglas walked this line to perfection.

The book also sets up enough of a plot to keep you intrigued, not only in this book, also for what comes next.

Definitely a very strong series starter.
