The Good

There was more frankness in how it addressed the sexual stuff than I have been exposed to

-condoms, consent, domination

The Subplot (and the character who came with it)

The Bad

The couple has zero chemistry: sex/lust =love is probably one of my top five if not my number one romance pet peeve. I’m a romance built, slow burn type of romance reader. I think that the couple being into each other from day one was not something I enjoyed.

This weird innocent vs pure vibe: I did not like that the story downed the girl character who was not considered pure since the story really emphasized the allure of purity of Abagail

Barely a subplot: Why was the subplot only picked up way late in this book? We spent way too much time with the main characters looking at the fact I mentioned earlier (no chemistry, not fun).

The couple are not allowed to be apart. (should this go under no subplot?). Every chapter is basically them together. Then again I do not know if I found the characters fun by themselves either.

This should have been a standalone book- I think that some of the problems tI felt in the story is because the characters story was continued into a series.

The Meh

Domination: there is a thin line between rapey and domination. The story tried to make that distinction. I think it failed in some parts and succeeded in others.
