While I like the characters, I want to delve more into their backstories and wish Laroux was more descriptive over what they look like and why they act the way they do. I'm really struggling to picture them (something I don't usually struggle with).
One of my favourite things about Laroux's spicy read is how she depicts consent. There are so many dark/kinky romances that lean into the dub/non consent world of kink that really take liberties over consent (which I think is quite irresponsible in our current world with BookTok and lots of young romance readers). But Laroux writes it perfectly! ALL ROMANCE WRITERS SHOULD TAKE NOTE! I was expecting to be surprised by the spice in this book and I was - this was kinky AF!
