I want to thank Stephanie and her team for allowing me the opportunity to read an ARC in exchange for my honest review. 

So let me tell you when I opened this book and saw it was 82 chapters long I was a little daunted. But Im here to tell you that this book is worth it! 

4.25 stars
2.75 spice

This book was great. I loved the dynamic between Hazel and Rory. They were Black Cat/ Golden Retriever perfection. The banter and angst was good, the slow-medium burn was good, I loved how Stephanie made us wait for the *main event* til like the last 20%. There was lots of other spice prior to this event but she really made us work for it. 

I cannot wait read the rest of the series as it progresses!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
I chose to not finish this book due to the content and the weird way the pov's kept alternating between 1st and 3rd person. It kept taking me out of the story.
