I don't really get the super negative reviews of this one. Is this the best romance novel ever with no flaws? No. But is it the most terrible thing I've read? Also no. I actually thought the plot was interesting enough. It was nice to see all these other pieces in motion outside of the romance and spicy scenes.
The romance itself was okay/cute. It definitely felt there could have been more tense conflict, internal struggle, and growth than there was. The spice scenes were okay but felt like they were there just to put them there. The emotional aspect of this romance was more fulfilling.
Some of the dialogue fell flat for me. Additionally, some of the characters relationship to Anastasia was kind of random and felt odd to be included multiple times in the plot (Henry...). I realize these characters appear in other books in this series but still..
Overall, thought it was alright and I would consider seeing how Wildfire is if I got the book and had some time to read.
