I have to say, I don't know if I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did had I not listened to the audiobook version. Robin Miles is a gift from God and you should absolutely treat yourself to one of her performances if you can.
I am so so so curious to see how this can become a series. I really enjoyed it. I find myself logically wanting to pick at some plot points but then I have to step back and ask myself if that matters? Because was it wholly, delightfully entertaining.
I was very pleased that Jersey got some much deserved love with a shout-out to Fuck Your Borders. Solidly pleased that no publisher forced their way into letting a white savior be had.
