This is definitely a SPICY book, not just a book with some spice mmmkay 🫣 I love a slow burn and enemies to lovers, so the slow tension and the pov swaps were well done and the tension lasted long enough to make the spice feel un-forced (although there are also some spicy scenes described that are not between the main characters, so fair warning those snuck up on me unexpectedly). I haven’t read the previous books by this author but after finishing this one, I definitely want to! I want to read a book for every one of the seven brothers so I’m hoping she does quite a few of them at least because this was such an interesting read! I found the character development entertaining, the bad guys were truly awful and the enemies to lovers had great banter and tension. Really enjoyable read! My only complaints would be that I saw a few of the major plot twists kind of coming, so while I was excited about them I wasn’t SHOCKED, and it was a tad spicier than I’m usually comfortable with with the background scenes that were described (vampire dinner party I’m looking at you). I’ll definitely read the sequel though!

This makes the smut feel so mundane it becomes a boring diversion from the actual plot and meaningful interactions between the main characters. If the smut was rarer in the book, it would feel more meaningful and make the story more balanced.
For added shock-value, there is meaningless violence, torture, and other possibly triggering events to cause diversion for the MCs from the main game in the plot. This dampened my enjoyment of the book.
If you are looking for a book with a nice premise for plot, interesting characters, but main focus on smut, you'll find a great match here.
