A generous ⭐⭐⭐ The illustrations are gorgeous, but the story ddidn't wow me. I enjoyed it but wasn't blown away. I'm intrigued enough to check out volume 2.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 75%.
Technically I DNF at 54% but I wanted his reaction when he learned the truth so skimmed. I don't care about their HEA... quitting after the break up.

There's too many smut scenes spanning various steam levels (11 by the time I quit at 75%), and I don't like stories with secrets and lies. FMC totally misrepresented herself. 

I liked the first third of the book so I'm rating 1.75⭐ instead of 1. I forgot how much this author uses sex to drive her stories while the romance takes a secondary role. Blacklisted. Sorry not sorry. This trash is why I gave up reading romance novels a few years ago.
