Personally I prefer there to be a clear storyline rather than only romance/spice/smut as focus for the entire book. However, I did enjoy the read a lot. I'm still very confused about Reef's absence, but hopefully that will be explained in one of the other books. But given every book in this series can be read as standalone, I would have rather found out in this one.
***Spoilers under here***
The ending with Marcos and Marcella was a tad rushed, it would have made sense to be eased into the story more from the beginning of this book. I also don't like how Rose and Casimir haven't spoken since the incident, and Rose reasoning with Aleister to forgive Casimir, because clearly Casimir is his best friend/family too. Even if he made a mistake, the focus was so heavily on the main couple that other important characters and things happening kinda took a back seat, which is a shame.
