Thank you to @netgalley and @kingdombooks for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts! 

This was such a cute and quick read! I didn’t realize that it was more novella size and once it clicked that it had about 150 pages, the quick pace made more sense. 

I do wish that the book was longer and that we had more development and fleshed out personalities with our characters. Everything moved so quickly that it was a bit mind reeling. 

Within minutes of our MCs meeting, our FMC Feylin was already planning their future. It makes sense in context of mates being rate and revered, but it was still a bit jarring especially considering our MMC Storm has another love interest he had been with his entire life that Feylin was well aware of. Storm spends the entirety of the book going back and forth with wanting his Mate and wanting nothing to do with her. It felt a bit like a rollercoaster, I wanted him to just make up his mind already and get out of the way. 

When Feylin attempts to move on, Storm suddenly gets possessive but of course even though he doesn’t want her, no one else can either apparently. At least until the last 10% of the book when he suddenly wants her and then insults her in the same breath?

Except for those few moments, the story overall was sweet and while I don’t consider this a 5 star read by any means, the vibes are decent and has me wanting book two already!
