2.5

4th in a series. A great opening scene in the ocean. Spicy scenes are hot, but overall Joanna Shupe’s writing style is straight-forward and dialogue heavy with minimal scene setting.  (A lot of tell, little show.) I didn’t get attached to these characters.  Not my favorite writing style, but that’s personal preference. 

Loved the side plot of Nellie trying to hook ladies up with contraception and fighting the Comstock Laws.
