This was not my cup of tropes. I think the main character would've been better off had she just become independent with her underground farmer's market

3.0

- this was a weird book: a bad first half but then it got better. Interesting premise, very uninteresting male hero: Killian sucked, for most of the book
- I like "I will do anything for you", will work for it, 'guy falls first' kind of guys
- he does eventually acknowledge that Una has power over him, and he becomes more like ^that, AFTER the wise woman tells him that they're mates

Spoiler

- the whole childhood trauma element was confusing? They both repressed this memory? And it was a denial of their mate bond? A potion?
- Killian was a tyrant, a meathead, boring-- why root for him? He was better by the end, and listening more to Una
- Una was a capable, strong main female character, who had interests and personality and courage
- the setting of oppression was quite heavy, more than I had expected
- the setup of mates who sleep around / make other arrangements was interesting, but it lessens the 'value' of your true mate?
- Una still feels somewhat pulled toward Killian, and still finds herself attracted-- was the bond really 'removed'?
- Killian needed to grovel more
