This book is definitely a dark romance. Loosely based on the Swan Lake, it follows a taboo relationship between former stepsiblings. Diego is set on revenge and Maeve has her mind on getting rid of the good girl image that her wealthy family expects of her. The chemistry between these two is of the charts if it starts off in a dark place. They cannot keep their hands off each other, especially him. I loved how these authors once again delved into the mental generational trauma and the road to recovery. The ending was brilliant and it set in motion a deeper understanding between the two of them The reluctant spice was way off the chart, with dubious but given consent. This is a stand alone novel in a series, you do not need to read the first book to follow this story. Excellent writing partnership between Amy and Aurelia. Read the trigger warnings, as there are many.

This book is the second one in a series, and can be read as a stand alone. I haven't read the first one and feel I didn't miss plotlines. The mental health representation in this book goes for both characters, and this author takes us in their journey to become better people. He's got generational trauma, and she has insecurities plus body image issues. Once they get together, they help each other cope with those issues and grow. Spice is well done and intentional, it's not gratuitous. The writing is descriptive and emotional, this author conveys human behavior in a relatable way. The witty banter is top notch, there's many scenes that had me giggling.
This book has a perfectly curated playlist and the dedication is awesome.
Please read the trigger warnings on the author's website.
