It took me some time to get used to the narration, and I expected to struggle with the book as a whole. But I didn't, really. It's true that both MCs are exaggerated, and Fen giggled and sighed a bit too much. But the spice was hot, the change in Xander was just slow and believable enough, and there is angst both in and outside the relationship. In the end, I swooned and was so happy these two got their HEA.

The characters that were introduced are intriguing, and I can't wait for their stories and maybe a redemption arc for some. Because, yep, there are some questionable characters who have suffered for their actions already, but I can't wait to see them suffer a bit more.

If you're in for a steamy and slightly exaggerated story of two stepbrothers who fall in love, then dig in!
